Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement protests - CJ reports’ archive (3.21-3.28)

Following recent Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement protests that resulted in the occupation of the Legislative Yuan’s floor, on the evening of March 23, the situation further escalated when over 1000 protestors pushed aside barbed wire barricades and stormed the Executive Yuan. Shortly afterwards, the government gave orders for 2000 riot police to disperse the crowd. Once the 1000-strong crowd of protesters had been dispersed, truck-mounted water cannons were mobilized to move those engaged in the sit-in protest; the ensuing confrontation between police and protestors resulted in numerous injuries. In response, one after another, students from around the country began independent classroom strikes and organizing out-of-school activities in a sign of solidarity.

On March 26, The Labor Rights Association (勞動人權協會) and National Labor Welfare Improvement Association (全國勞工福利促進協會), as well as numerous other labor groups, jointly convened a press conference, at which they called for the Ministry of Economic Affairs to stop stalling and quickly implement the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement. 

Resistance to the trade pact continues, with student representatives calling for people to join the march to Ketagalan Boulevard on 30th March.

反服貿學潮佔領立法院後擴大抗爭，3月23日晚間有民眾推開行政院前原本架設的拒馬，上千人進入行政院內。隨後凌晨政府下令警方清場，兩千鎮暴警察驅離千位民眾，出動鎮暴水車向靜坐民眾噴射水柱驅離，民眾與警方推擠衝突，造成多人流血受傷。台灣各地陸續有青年學子發動自主罷課或課後公民教室等活動聲援。

3月26日，「勞動人權協會」、「全國勞工福利促進協會」等多個工會團體共同召開記者會，呼籲儘快結束立院失序、早日落實服貿協議。發言代表指出加強兩岸經貿往來，能有助於東亞區域和平，更有助於兩岸和平，並宣示支持可以創造就業的服貿協定。

反服貿抗爭目前仍在進行中，學生代表號召民眾3月30日上凱道。
