Police are once again warning protesters to abide by the law.
Lawmakers are set to review military pension reform bills tomorrow, and
veterans rights groups are planning more protests outside the legislative
compound.
Taipei city police officials say any illegal action on the part of protesters
will be prosecuted severely, especially those who attack police officers or
damage property.
Nine protesters have already been charged with impeding public servants in
carrying out their duties and with injuring them in last month’s protests,
while another 48 have been charged with violating the Social Order
Maintenance Act.
Security will be tight around the legislature and presidential office
tomorrow, with barricades set up to keep protesters out.
Traffic restrictions will be in place on the roads around both compounds.
