Legislator assaulted by colleagues

"Lin's punches would have been even heavier if he had not been restrained," Chien said.

DPP lawmaker Michael Tsai (蔡明憲) supported Chien, saying that in 1995 Lo had also physically assaulted him because he appealed to the government to bar gangsters from the Legislative Yuan.

During recent years, DPP lawmakers have asserted that certain KMT lawmakers have used violence against members of their party. They claim legislator Su Huan-chih (蘇煥智) was punched by Lin during a speech in the legislature and that Lai Chin-lin (賴勁麟) had been kicked by the KMT's Allen Tseng (曾振農) last year in another highly-publicized incident.
