2 Million Rally Against President
From Times Wire Reports
An estimated 2 million people marched, blowing whistles and air horns, in an island-wide protest against President Chen Shui-bian a week before Taiwan’s presidential election.

The event was organized by opposition candidate Lien Chan, who stood on a stage in front of the building, cheering on the protesters as he accused Chen of incompetence.
