  • A man in Keelung, Taiwan, has been indicted for violating a restraining order against his mother.

A man in Keelung, Taiwan, faces charges for repeatedly violating a court-issued restraining order designed to protect his mother. The Keelung District Prosecutors Office indicted the man, identified by the surname Huang, for violating the domestic violence prevention law.

According to the indictment, Huang engaged in a series of aggressive actions against his mother's residence in May, shortly after the protective order was reinforced. He allegedly dismantled surveillance cameras and the doorbell located at the entrance of his mother's home. Furthermore, he reportedly shut off the main power supply to the residence and then used his motorcycle to ram the front door forcefully.

The court had initially issued a restraining order against Huang in January, prohibiting him from harassing or contacting his mother. In April, the order was expanded, mandating that he maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from her home. Despite these legal directives, Huang's actions demonstrated a clear disregard for the court's authority and caused significant distress to his mother.

Authorities have initiated legal proceedings against Huang based on these violations. The case highlights the serious nature of domestic violence and the legal measures in place to protect victims. The report also includes a public service announcement, urging individuals experiencing domestic violence to contact the 113 protection hotline or local family violence prevention centers for assistance.

Individuals experiencing cohabitation violence can call the 113 protection hotline or seek help from local government family violence prevention centers.
