Members of the Hand-in-Hand Taiwan Alliance yesterday lodged a protest in front of the opposition People First Party's (PFP) headquarters in Taipei, demanding an apology from party chairman James Soong (???) for supposedly hindering Scottish actor Sean Connery from coming to Taiwan and taking part in the alliance's rally.
The protest was in response to PFP spokesman Hwang Yih-jiau's (???) statement on Saturday that the award-winning actor's decision not to take part in the rally was a result of advice by the PFP. Connery's agent, however, said on Friday that the award-winning actor and Scottish-independence activist never intended to join the rally.
However, this statement from the actor's official representative appears to have had little impact on the growing controversy over his non-visit.
