daubed the statue of a prominent Taiwan Independence leader in Tainan with red paint.
The incident followed the sawing off of a leg from President Chiang Kai-shek’s equestrian statue on the campus of National Chengchi University in Taipei Friday, seen as retaliation against vandalism directed against the 228 Peace Memorial.
On Saturday morning, passersby in the Tainan City district of Qigu noticed that a statue of the late independence activist Yuzin Chaotong Ng (黃昭堂) showed traces of red paint on its face and on an engraved text below.
Police cordoned off the area and reviewed surveillance camera footage, which revealed that a man had been throwing the paint and a woman had been taking pictures and film of the act around 10 p.m. on Friday, the Central News Agency reported. [FULL STORY]
