TAIPEI, Taiwan — The opposition Kuomintang (KMT) is scheduled to hold two waves of demonstrations Sunday against a proposed lifting of the ban on food products from radiation-affected areas of Japan.

The KMT on Sunday morning will gather around 500 protesters in New Taipei’s Xindian District in front of the venue of a central government-held public hearing on imports of controversial Japanese food products, according to a plan released by the party Saturday.

Later in the day, the party will mobilize around 10,000 people to march from Taipei’s Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to the Ministry of Finance building, the KMT said.

Senior KMT officials, led by Chairwoman Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱), will also take part in the march.    [FULL  STORY]
