Taiwan: Taiwan People's Party to stage rally at Libery Square in Taipei from 14:00 Jan. 11
Taiwan People's Party plans protest at Liberty Square in Taipei, Taiwan from 14:00 Jan. 11. Increased security likely, disruptions possible.
The Taiwan People's Party (TPP) is staging a protest at Liberty Square from 14:00 Jan. 11. The purpose of the action is to show solidarity with Ko Wen-je, the former leader of the TPP, who was indicted for various charges including embezzlement and corruption. Hundreds of people will likely attend the rally.
Heightened security measures, including roadblocks, are likely around the protest site. Localized transport and business disruptions are probable. As activists arrive and leave the rally sites, increased demand for public transport is likely. Although the demonstrations will probably pass off peacefully, scuffles between police and activists cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest site as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for possible localized business and transport disruptions Jan. 11. Heed all official transport and security directives.
