Taiwanese protest police 'abuse' during anti-China demos
AFP - 2 hours 1 minute ago
TAIPEI (AFP) - - Hundreds of college students protested in Taipei on Sunday against what they called police abuse in handling anti-China demonstrations last month and demanded an apology from President Ma Ying-jeou.
The students from across the island, joined by sympathisers, marched through Taipei chanting slogans, bringing to a close a month-long sit-in launched after the clashes and scuffles surrounding the visit of a top Chinese envoy.
China's top Taiwan negotiator, Chen Yunlin, made history when he visited the island and met Ma last month, but protests against his visit ended in violent clashes between police and protesters that left more than 110 people injured.
"President Ma Ying-jeou must apologise for the police abuse," said a spokesman for the students.
Chen became the most senior Chinese official to visit the island since it split from China at the end of a civil war in 1949.
In October, his deputy Zhang Mingqing -- in Taiwan to prepare for Chen's visit -- was jostled and pushed to the ground by pro-independence activists in the southern city of Tainan.
Ties between Taipei and Beijing have eased since Ma of the China-friendly Kuomintang swept to power in March on a platform of reducing hostilities with Beijing and allowing in more Chinese tourists.
