What happened during the incident?
Sung Chien-liang, who is affiliated with the Taiwanese nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) party, showed up for an appearance at the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office where he had been summoned for questioning.
Sung has spearheaded a campaign to recall lawmaker Lee Kuan-cheng, a member of the center-left ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Sung has been accused of signature fraud on the petition to recall the lawmaker.
During his appearance in front of the prosecutor’s office on Tuesday, Sung was seen wearing a Nazi armband and holding a Chinese translation of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.” He also did a Nazi salute during the public appearance.
Sung was later released on bail. After leaving the prosecutor’s office, he was no longer publicly displaying the Nazi paraphernalia.
