“More than 100,000 Taiwanese people took to the streets Saturday in protest over the death of a young conscript who was allegedly abused in the military. Protesters rallied at a square near the presidential office in Taipei, mostly dressed in white — a colour symbolising truth in local culture. It was the second mass protest since Corporal Hung Chung-chiu died of heatstroke on July 4 — apparently after being forced to exercise excessively as punishment for taking a smartphone onto his base — just three days before the end of his compulsory year-long military service.”
