The Zhang family in Bali faces forced demolition and urgently appeals for support; do not let the Wang family incident happen again

There is an emergency in Bali. The family of Mr. Zhang Wanyi, one of the landowners whose land is being expropriated in the Taipei Port Special District, refused to consent to the expropriation, and ever since their two-story house was completed, they have been obstructed from obtaining an occupancy permit (though they do have a construction permit). Now the New Taipei City Government says it is an illegal structure. On May 1, an official notice was posted on the back door of the Zhang home, and on May 7 it is going to be demolished. The Zhang family insists on keeping the house in place so they can maintain the gardening livelihood they have always had. They need everyone’s help~~

The Zhang parents are still living inside right now! Is the Wang family incident about to happen again? Please call Chu Li-lun and tell him not to be a savage mayor. If it does not rain on May 7, please also go to the site to support them…..
