- Description
- Lin Hai of Brooklyn, N.Y., recalls the violence he says he suffered at the hands of a mob of pro-CCP protestors rallied by the American Chang Le Association in 2019. https://en.rfa.org/overseaspolice
Lin had joined a group that had come out to support Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen’s visit to New York. But at the event, the group was confronted by pro-Taiwanese reunification counter-protesters.
"There were Chinese National flags everywhere, and nationalistic Chinese songs blared from the loudspeakers," Lin said. "All of a sudden, they crossed the road to our side. I felt it was a targeted and premeditated attack.”
It reminded him of scenes in China, he said, where he had worked for a state-owned company until he helped lead an environmental protest in his hometown.

- Date posted

- Description
- Nearly 400 Rohingya refugees in Myanmar’s Rakhine state were probably killed by Cyclone Mocha, the country’s parallel National Unity Government and local aid workers told RFA Tuesday.
The NUG said the figure was based on estimates of the damage, since search and rescue teams have not retrieved the bodies and many victims are still missing. The figure has not been independently verified by RFA.
The majority of victims were staying in refugee camps described as ‘open-roof prisons.’
