A TAIWANESE WORKER LIES ON THE GROUND DURING A PROTEST

TAI03:TAIPEI,4FEB97 - A Taiwanese textile factory worker lies on the ground refusing to leave as riot police surrounded her and another demonstrator during a protest at Taipei's Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Park February 4. About 100 workers of the southern Tainan-based Tung Yang textile company took part in the protest to demand the company pay them after its closure in December. Taiwanese workers have become more active in striving for their rights and benefits in recent years. lc/Photo by Simon Kwong REUTERS
