Accusing Japanese MP with "traitor" card, attacked by crowd Yu Zhibin sues Shen Boyang and Yabata Akihisa

Japanese Restoration Party member of the House of Councillors, Ishihira, attended the "Indo-Pacific Strategy Think Tank Symposium" on the 9th. Yu Zhibin, deputy secretary-general of the New Party, held a sign reading "traitor" to confront Ishihira, and was then escorted out of the venue. After the incident, Yu Zhibin said he was pushed, surrounded, and had his neck choked by black-clad pro-independence people, causing him to fall to the ground and hit his head hard. He immediately felt dizzy and uncomfortable, then went to the hospital for injury examination, and announced that he had filed a lawsuit against "Legislator" Shen Boyang and "Indo-Pacific Strategy Think Tank Executive Director" Yabata Akihisa.

Yu Zhibin said he would not retaliate with violence, but would use the law to defend justice. He formally filed a report yesterday, accusing Shen Boyang of inciting assault; and simultaneously filed a lawsuit against Yabata Akihisa, Li Wenbin of the "Taiwan Independence" flag team, and other relevant individuals, holding them accountable for the acts of pushing, restricting personal movement, and pursuing legal responsibilities such as assault, obstruction of freedom, and coercion. I am standing here not to oppose, but to safeguard the most basic bottom line of Taiwanese society: one can disagree, but cannot choke someone's neck; one can debate, but cannot use violence to silence.
