Taipei, May 5 (CNA) Thirty-nine people were indicted Tuesday for intruding into the Cabinet complex in Taipei during a mass protest last year against a controversial Taiwan-China trade pact.

Taipei prosecutors brought charges against the 39 people, saying they violated Article 306 of the Criminal Code, which forbids entry into another person’s property without reason.

Video footage from a surveillance camera showed 13 of the demonstrators breaking into the Cabinet complex March 23, days after a group of student protesters invaded the Legislature and began an occupation that lasted 23 days, in protest against Taiwan’s trade-in-services agreement with China.     [FULL  STORY]
