(影)指令？婦人看手機後攻擊志工 罷團提告：為何做筆錄時黃健豪服務處人員會到場？
Newtalk新聞 大罷免進入三階投票熱戰，各地威脅、恐嚇事件頻傳，台中罷免國民黨立委黃健豪「斷健行動2.0」團隊27日表示，上午舉辦宣傳活動時，遭一名婦人突襲搶奪旗桿攻擊，導致2名志工受傷，其中一人臉部受創，另一人四肢擦傷送醫，婦人甚至嗆「這邊是黃健豪的地盤」，事後雙方互告，而做筆錄時，黃健豪服務處人員卻在第一時間到場，罷團質疑是否和施暴的婦人有所聯繫？ 「斷健行動2.0」團隊指出，27日在台中北區中清、五權、公園路口進行罷免宣傳，志工還在準備的同時，就有一名婦人靠近，並且看著手機，在觀看手機過後，「彷彿接受到某種指令」，突然搶奪志工準備的旗桿做攻擊，甚至嗆聲「這邊是黃健豪的地盤，不可以在這裡宣傳罷免！」，罷團志工見狀進而阻止，造成2名志工受傷。 警方獲報後趕赴現場，將雙方帶回派出所進作筆錄，反罷方民眾對罷團提出毀損、傷害、妨礙自由等告訴，罷團也提告傷害、搶奪、毀損的告訴。 「斷健行動2.0」表示，在派出所進行筆錄的同時，黃健豪的服務團隊也出現在派出所，罷團質疑，為何志工在做筆錄，黃健豪的人員會在第一時間到場？是否和施暴的婦人有所聯繫？ 「斷健行動2.0」總召「台灣衣美局」對此表示譴責，無法接受這種暴力行為，罷免權是公民權利，不該受到任何人的阻止以及施暴行為。他強調，在台灣是一個民主自由的國家，無論是言語辱罵還是肢體攻擊，這些都不是民主國家該有的狀況，他們譴責這些暴力行為，更不願在這場公民運動中看到任何人受到傷害。 「斷健行動2.0」直言，從第一階段連署至今，罷團成員不斷遭遇辱罵與干擾，如今更演變成實際攻擊，顯示反罷免方試圖以暴力恐嚇、打壓公民正當行使罷免權，這已嚴重違反民主精神。 罷團強調，罷免是人民依「憲法」行使的正當權利，不容任何暴力阻撓，呼籲社會大眾一同譴責暴力行為，並在7月26日踴躍投下同意票，用選票反制暴力、守護台灣民主。延伸閱讀：(影)傅崐萁批花蓮雙軌跳票畫面曝 網喊：想用主場優勢圍毆 反被陳世凱電爆！柯文哲夫妻帳戶被凍賣農地？北檢駁斥！四叉貓秀商辦租約打臉：每月5萬不夠花？垃圾場發現大量鄭正鈐競選濕紙巾「中國製造」林志潔質疑：是否在滅證？中國策劃衝撞蕭美琴「連副總統都被威脅」她籲團結罷免勿讓親共勢力滲透台灣
