Launching the "June 12 Incident" to Besiege the Legislative Yuan: Using Mass Violence to Pressure the Parliament

In June 1987, as the government was about to lift martial law, the newly founded DPP organized its supporters to surround the Legislative Yuan to protest the "National Security Act." The protest escalated into a violent riot between supporters and the police, with DPP officials using propaganda vehicles to incite confrontations. This marked the DPP''s first major bloody street struggle, establishing its political style of using "mass violence" and "besieging government offices" to blackmail the government and paralyze proceedings.
