WORLD IN BRIEF : TAIWAN : Police Break Up Protest; 28 Injured
From Times staff and wire reports
At least 28 people were reported injured after about 2,000 Taiwanese police used clubs and water cannon to drive demonstrators away from a jail outside Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. The protesters had been demanding the release of a dissident publisher, Hsu Hsin-liang. Hsu was jailed after he returned last month from exile in the United States. The government accuses him of helping to organize an anti-government demonstration in 1979.
