Taipei, Sept. 10 (CNA) The entrance to the building which housed Japan’s de facto embassy in Taipei, the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association (JTEA), was splashed with wet paint on Monday evening by members linked to a pro-Chinese unification political party, according to the Taipei City Police Department (TCPD).
TCPD’s Songshan Precinct said a report was made at approximately 5:30 p.m. of four Unionist Party supporters, one female and three male, splashing wet paint all over the building’s entrance, foyer and glass panels.
The four involved have since been held in custody by the police for investigation into offenses related to their actions.
According to a video that surfaced online, the incident was said to be in protest against a Japanese national caught on camera appearing to kick Taiwan’s first comfort women statue in Tainan earlier this month. [FULL STORY]
