Attacker Spreads Manure at Pro-democracy, Pro-Hong Kong Restaurant in #Taiwan

Taipei’s city government condemned the attack and ordered the police to use “full resources” in hunting down the assailant.

A suspect was swiftly arrested in less than 12 hours. 3 more suspects masterminding behind the scene were also arrested on Oct 17, 2020.

Chinese Man Pays Vandals to Attack Pro-Hong Kong Restaurant in Taiwan

On October 16, 2020, Aegis, a restaurant in Taiwan which has been providing work for pro-democracy Hongkongers in exile, was vandalized by four men with feces.

The suspects were arrested the following day by the Taiwanese police. The four men admitted they were paid 15,000TWD to carry out the vandalization.

Taiwanese authorities are tracking down a mainland Chinese man who instigated the four to carry out the attack.

According to Taiwan news outlets, the Taipei District Prosecutors Office has closed their investigation on the case in October 2020. The suspects were charged for public insult, and causing harms and damages.

The police pointed out that a man surnamed Chen funded the vandalization, and is currently in China. They are still investigating the identity of the man behind the scene and his motive.
