On 20 May 1988, Yunlin Farmers' Rights Association took thousands of farmers to the legislature in Taipei to protest against the government's indifference to farmers' rights. Some farmers clashed with the police when trying to enter for restroom. Several were arrested, leading to fiercer clashes. Protesters demanding the release of the arrested were dispersed with baton and water cannon.
