A protestor holds a sign opposing arms purchases from the U.S. sought by Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian in a rally organized by the main opposition parties in Taipei, March 19, 2006. Thousands of supporters gathered a few hundred meters from the "presidential" building in the protest, which marked two years since the mysterious election-eve shooting of Chen, which the opposition has said was staged to win votes in the election. Protestors also called for a new investigation into the incident. [Reuters]
