Taiwan: Child's rights activists plan to demonstrate on Ketagalan Boulevard in Taipei 14:00-16:00 April 27

Child's rights activists plan to demonstrate on Ketagalan Boulevard in Taipei 14:00-16:00 April 27. The action is to protest child abuse and demand legal reform following the death of a one-year-old child in foster care. Organizers initially postponed an earlier demonstration scheduled April 4 due to the April 3 earthquake. Hundreds of participants could join the event.

A heightened security presence is likely around the protest site. Police could enact road closures if a large number of demonstrators attend the event, prompting localized transport disruptions. Although the event will probably pass peacefully, isolated minor scuffles between activists and police cannot be ruled out.
