Lee was detained by the Chinese government on March 19 last year, when he entered China’s Guangdong Province from Macau. Lee in his trial said that he would not appeal the ruling of the Yueyang Intermediate People’s Court in Hunan Province. The demonstration aims to remind Taiwanese of Lee’s detention and to urge the government to take action, Chiu said. The demonstration is being organized by the “Lee Ming-che Rescue Team,” an alliance established by Taiwanese non-governmental organizations, including the association.
