On charges of tearing the Republic of China’s national flag.

Liu Tao-shen, 35, was arrested in the act of slicing into pieces three flags displayed along the railing of a bridge in Tungshih, near Fengyuan, early in the morning.

“It’s you again,” said one of the police patrolmen who made the arrest.

He arrested her on the same spot last Monday.

She had been arrested many, many times on the same charges before. In fact, she went to jail one time to spend 55 days behind bars.

But she was released without bail Monday as well as yesterday. Police told her to present herself before them when summoned, however.

Asked why she tirelessly repeated the flag-tearing, Liu said she hates the Republic of China, which is simply a province of the People’s Republic.

“I did so to protest the mistreatment of Chinese spouses in Taiwan,” Liu told the police who arrested her.

She had cut her right indicating finger with her knife while trying to shred the three flags.

“I’ll tear your national flag again and again,” Liu vowed as she stepped out of the police sub-station at Tungshih, a town near Fengyuan which is the seat of the Taichung county government.
