In Taiwan, our voices may be obscure, but our determination against the war is unshakable. From F15 to A12, the left-winged parties in Taiwan had collaborated with other activity groups and continuously held several anti-war demonstrations. However, people who joined the protests were treated with illegal violence by Taiwanese government and the police.(video:2.02mb) (article 1)

4/12 protests were treated with illegal violence by polices in Taiwan
At the noon of April 12, the marching group gathered in front of AIT( American Institute in Taiwan). Before the march started, the group of ¡§Assignment Theatre¡¨had a street performance against American Imperialism. The performance was interrupted by illegal police violence. Two young men were taken away by force. People on the spot shouted ¡§Free the men! Free the men!¡¨, while the policemen answered abruptly ¡§It is impossible!¡¨. People in the anti-war demonstration continued the protest by making speeches and singing. At 5:10 in the afternoon, these two young men were released and returned to us.
At CYBERBEES, other films and pictures relating to the activities of April 12 can also be viewed. We are trying to let the whole world to hear the voice of minority people in Taiwan, and look forward to walking hand in hand with other groups of justice in the world. That is why we call ourselves ¡§cyberbees¡¨¡Xshouting loud to fight for people¡¦s right.
