BEIJING - Taiwanese protestors wearing red T-shirts held a candlelight party in Taipei Sunday evening to show opposition to the island's leader Chen Shui-bian.

Shih Ming-teh, former chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), joined the protest at 8 pm, saying the red T-shirt protestors had opened a new leaf for the anti-corruption campaign in Taiwan.

A protest attended by hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese took place on the same day last year after some of Chen Shui-bian's family members were implicated in a series of scandals.
