The chief organizer of the human-chain rally that is slated to take place on Feb. 28 announced yesterday that the event has so far received overwhelming support nationwide, with the number of scheduled participants exceeding 1 million.
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Deputy Secretary General Lee Ying-yuan (???), chief event planner for the "228 Hand-in-Hand Rally" yesterday said "the event has come a long way in summoning the passion and support of the Taiwanese people to join the rally. The current count of registered participants has exceeded 1 million, and now we are looking forward to seeing this number grow to 2 million."
Giving a report on the progress of the rally, Lee said the quick surge in the number of participants has cheered the morale of the organizers, but has also made transporting the throng of participants an acute problem.
