Liberty Times: What can you tell us about the police investigations into those who allegedly threatened violence against the Hong Kong democracy advocates visiting Taiwan? Chen Kuo-en (陳國恩): My understanding is that the Hong Kong lawmakers and social activists originally intended to keep their visit to Taiwan secret. On Jan. 7, the Aviation Police Bureau deployed about 100 police officers at Taoyuan airport, with 80 inside the terminal and 20 outside. There were between 100 and 200 protesters outside [the terminal]. We recommended charging four people with obstruction under the Criminal Code and charging two others for breaches of the Social Order Maintenance Act (社會秩序維護法).
