10 cases of transnational repression, 3 gangs involved

The Police Department launched a pre-election anti-gang operation last night, targeting the gangs behind the "local collaborators" in the previous ten "transnational suppression" cases, in which the Bamboo Union, the Tiandao League, and the Northern Alliance were all involved. In addition, a total of 15 candidates, assistants, and election assistants were listed by China as Taiwan independence die-hards, thugs, and accomplices, and security measures were particularly strengthened to prevent any further cross-border suppression before the election that would affect the fairness of the election.

The National Police Agency stated that it is currently investigating ten cases of "transnational repression". Four cases have been prosecuted, including Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party, who was followed and photographed, paint was sprayed on Kamidi Comedy Club, Indo-Pacific strategic think tank CEO Akio Yaita was attacked, and comedian Huang Yihao was involved in a fake car accident. Six more cases are under investigation.

The six cases include Hong Kong citizen Tang Weixiong's Muay Thai studio in Shilin, Taipei City, which was twice splashed with red paint (case 2); firecrackers were thrown at the Tibet Taiwan Human Rights Link Office event; dolls mocking foreign politicians were sold and intimidated; Guan Jianzhong was intimidated for introducing a documentary on "state-owned organs"; and the organizer of the Shen Yun Dance Company was intimidated to plant bombs at the venue.

Currently, there are 119 Chinese nationals and 12 locations listed by China as Taiwan independence diehards, thugs, and accomplices. In order to prevent accidents, the Police Department has actively contacted them to inquire whether they have security needs. Shen Boyang, who has strengthened security in this election, has the role of both candidate and election assistant. Fourteen others, including Minister of the Interior Liu Shifang and legislator Huang Jie, have the role of assistant election and election assistant, and have strengthened security when participating in relevant election activities.

The Police Department stated that the gangs involved in or behind the cross-border suppression were identified as the Bamboo Union, the Tiandao League, and the Northern Union Gang. The unscrupulous news agencies involved included Hong Kong Express, Taiwan WeChat, and Daai. In addition to vigorous raids, they are also making every effort to hunt down other local collaborators and prevent obstruction and trouble.
