Open letter to the international communities - From Taiwan

Original:WeTalk Forum
Dear friends
I am a citizen of Taiwan, ROC, and I am here to tell you a true tragedy happened in Taiwan and seek the support from you.
Long story short. Several weeks ago, an unfortunate accident / murder happened in our Taiwan Army. Corporal Hung, days before his retirement from Taiwan Army, was found dead in his confinement. In the beginning, the authority in Army told his family that it was just an unfortunate accident, and nothing was found wrong during the investigation process. However, the family could not accept the answer and started their own process to try to find the truth. With the help of the media and some leaking from the Army, the good people in Taiwan found out it was not an accident. It might be too quickly to call it a murder yet, but many signs showed it was.
Knowing this, people in Taiwan quickly started to ask the government and the Army to seriously investigate in this case. However, the reports from the military prosecutor were full of flaws and not able to convince the family and people. Even when all the people and the media in Taiwan questioned the government and the Army again and again, the official response from the authority was still "it was a fault of junior level officers in the Army, unintentionally".
So, at 8/3/2013, GMT+8 18:00, the good people in Taiwan will take this to the street. We will have a protest demonstration against the injustice showed in this case. We will have our voice heard by the world. We expect there will be more than 100 thousands Taiwanese to join us. It is going to be one of the biggest protest in the last couple years in Taiwan.
Please report this demonstration if you are a media. Please share this to your group if you are a commnuity. While our elected government ( I shamely admited) generally ignores its own people's voice, our president, Mr. Ma, cares about his international reputation a lot. So if you help us to share it and report it, our government will feel the heat. You are helping us to bring justice back to Taiwan.
If you are willing to help, I here represent all the good people in Taiwan, to say "Thank you".
Sincerely
from a citizen in Taiwan
Please share it !!!
Well, this is what really happening in Taiwan, the trial is still going, and four of the defendants had released on bail.
I'm not any litigant in this event, but I hope more people know this thing, will help the justice comes more quickly
🙂
Thank you for your reading!!

If you really want to spread the words, I would say try reddit /r/worldnews, /r/justiceporn and /r/taiwan.
It's one of the largest English-based internet community. (At least it's quite big in US)
(There's even /r/erepublik board which kinda dead for a while XD)
something like "More than 100 thousands people are going to protest in Taiwan for justice" are likely hits to the front page of reddit.
RIP
如果你真的想傳出去的話,可以試試Reddit的/r/worldnews版,/r/justiceporn版跟/r/taiwan版
(在reddit連接後面加就OK).
Reddit是英語系其中一個大型英文討論社群. (連/r/erepublik版也在裡面,雖然已死掉了)
只要寫出像"將會有十萬人在台灣為了正義而示威"之類的標題,通常能上頭版,這樣真的會全球注目.
(Reddit是各大知名媒體喜愛使用的資料源)
之前某國出現暴亂時,也是這樣衝上頭版,然後各大媒體/相關人也注意到.
其實這事件,加拿大也有播相關新聞,但因為沒有什麼能做的事
大概只能看新聞看這事件的發展
