Taipei, Sept. 30 (CNA) Hong Kong singer-activist Denise Ho (何韻詩) vowed on Monday to sue two

suspects allegedly responsible for spraying red paint on her Sunday before a pro-Hong Kong democratic movement rally held in downtown Taipei.

In a Facebook post, Ho said she will soon take legal action against the suspects, Hu Chih-wei (胡志偉) and Liang Tai-fu (梁太富), for intimidation, public humiliation, and loss of property, to prevent similar harassment and threats from happening to others.

Ho was being interviewed before Sunday afternoon's rally outside the Legislative Yuan when a masked man came up from behind her and sprayed her with red paint, leaving Ho's hair and clothes covered in red.

Hu, the main suspect, was arrested when he tried to flee the scene following the incident. Liang, an alleged accomplice of Hu, was also arrested at the scene, according to Taipei police.
