 Taiwan chooses to stand with the oppressed

Taiwan chooses to “stand with those who are oppressed and whose religious rights have been taken away by authoritarian regimes” because Taiwanese know “how it feels when someone tries to take away your rights, wipe out your identity and challenge your way of life,” President Tsai Ing-wen said at the opening of the Regional Religious Freedom Forum.

Leaders from more than 15 countries in the region gathered in Taipei to discuss how to better protect and promote religious freedom.

“We remain committed to creating a world where people are free from fear of persecution, or fear of exile because of their religion or ethnicity,” Tsai said.

The forum was organized by the Foundation for Democracy and the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT).

 Elections for President and Parliament set on 11 January, 2020

The Central Election Commission announced that the next presidential and legislative elections will be held on 11 Jan. 2020.

 The new Legislature will then take office in February while the elected President and Vice-President will be inaugurated on 20 May, 2020.
