in Politics, on the 7th of November 2008
University students and professors hold a 30 hour sit-in in Taipei, Taiwan, in protest against the Ma Ying-jeou administration's violations of civil liberties during Chinese emissary Chen Yunlin's visit that some believe marks the historic thawing of Taiwan-China relations. But many accuse the Taiwan government of infringing on citizens' freedoms of expression and assembly after it deployed nearly 10,000 riot police over a span of five days to ward off by force any semblance of opposition to its closed-door meetings with the Chinese Communist Party official.  Freedom House and international human rights groups have voiced concerns over the deteriorating relations between society and the state that ended in some of the worst bouts of antigovernment violence in the post-martial-law era.
