326民主和平護台灣大聯盟聲明稿
2005年3月14日，中國人民代表大會無視於台灣的反對與世界各國的關切，通過了「反分裂國家法」。
這項立法訴求非和平手段解決兩岸爭端，不但將片面改變台海和平現狀，更威脅台灣的民主發展，危害台灣人民自由選擇未來的權利。
對於中國這項作法，我們必須嚴正指出，台灣是一個民主國家，台灣人珍惜民主，愛好和平，不能接受中國擅自立法，片面宣稱台灣是它的一部分；更無法接受威權的中國，在部署706顆飛彈威脅台灣之後，再以各種藉口，無端挑起兩岸紛爭，破壞台海和平，升高區域的不安。
台灣是亞洲的民主典範，成為全世界讚揚的焦點；中國通過威嚇台灣的『反分裂國家法』，卻是全世界質疑的焦點。我們譴責中國立法越權管制並無實際管轄的台灣，也絕不接受中國越過和平協商，直接採取武力威脅之作法。
2005年3月26日，將有一百萬台灣人站出來，以和平的遊行、民主的嘉年華集會，反對中國的「反分裂國家法」，向世界及中國大聲說出「保民主、愛和平、護台灣！」我們之間不分族群黨派、性別職業，團結在一起，展現護台灣的決心與意志。我們希望全世界的民主國家，支持民主的台灣，約制威權的中國，以確保台海和平與亞太安全。
326 March Statement of Taiwan Democratic Alliance for Peace
Despite Taiwan’s objection and concerns from all over the world, China’s National People’s Congress passed the so-called “Anti-secession Law” on March 14, 2005. The legislation resorts to non-peaceful measures to resolve the cross-strait dispute. This law will unilaterally change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait, threaten the democratic developments of Taiwan, and endanger the rights of the people of Taiwan in making free choices about Taiwan’s future.
In response to China’s unjustifiable legislation, we would like to make clear that Taiwan is a democratic country with peace-loving people. Taiwan will not recognize China’s legislation and its unilateral claim of sovereignty over Taiwan. Nor will we accept an authoritarian China that, with 706 missiles directed against Taiwan, continue to find excuses to provoke conflicts across the Taiwan Strait, destroy peace and stability, and escalate tensions in the Asia-Pacific region.
Taiwan’s democratic achievements have made the country a remarkable model in Asia. However, the passage of the Chinese so-called ‘Anti-secession Law’ has recently become the focus and discussion of international politics. We condemn Beijing for taking a unilateral movement by passing the so-called ‘Anti-secession Law’, which attempts to give China a legitimate reason to use violence against Taiwan in the future. We do not accept China’s intentions of using non-peaceful measures to resolve the cross strait issue.
There will be more than 1 million Taiwanese people participating in the march on March 26, 2005. The march is designed as a peaceful rally and a democratic festival. The people of Taiwan strongly oppose the passage of the so-called ‘Anti-secession Law’ and will make their voices heard by the rest of the world. The principles of ‘protecting democracy, loving peace, and defending Taiwan’ centralize the purposes of the holding such an event. With love and solidarity, many social organizations have decided to join the 326 March, regardless of gender or ethnic backgrounds. Therefore, we hope that democratic societies will continue to support Taiwan’s democracy and condemn China’s authoritarian regime for a secure Asia and for cross-strait regional peace.
