freedom of assembly and parade. Upon investigation and subsequent followup by the Control Yuan, Kaohsiung City Government will set up an “opinion zone” to let the public exercise their freedom of speech. The prosecutors’ opinions will also be solicited should there be any questions about the use of enforcement, to prevent excessive force and ensure the people’s interests and rights are not affected adversely. 127. On December 23, 2017, Taipei City Police Department used force to limit the movement of three attorneys-at-law who had identified themselves as helping the public and took them away from the site when dealing with the assembly and parade for “Objection to Unjust Amendments to the Labor Standards Act and Protection of Labor Interests and Rights”.
