Sunflower Movement members state their side of protest to prosecutors (2014/04/21)

Sunflower Movement members explained their side of recent student-led protests against the cross-Taiwan Strait services trade pact to prosecutors today. The group voluntarily sought out prosecutors rather than answer a police summons. 

Members of the Sunflower Movement voluntarily visited Taipei District Prosecutors Office today to explain actions taken during the cross-strait services trade pact protests. Seven movement members, including leaders Lin Fei-fan and Chen Wei-ting, appeared with their pro bono legal team. 

Huang Yu-fen
Student Protester
When the police carry out government-sanctioned violence, we lose all trust in the impartiality of their questioning and inquiries. We therefore chose to reject police interrogation and instead directly face prosecutors.

Seven prosecutors questioned the students, primarily on the March 18 storming of the Legislature. After, all the students were able to leave.

Wellington Koo
Pro Bono Lawyer
The position of our legal team is that they’re innocent. If the prosecution feels that by actively seeking to explain the case we have fulfilled the conditions of giving ourselves up to the authorities, this will benefit the defense. The legal team would not oppose this.

Koo plans to argue that the students were exercising their right to resistance and civil disobedience and therefore are innocent of any crimes.

帆廷魏北檢

太陽花學運落幕，學運幹部林飛帆、陳為廷、以及魏揚在內共七個人，把警方傳訊擺一邊，主動前往台北地檢署說明案情，並對外宣示「勇敢承擔」的決心。義務律師團力挺辯護。訊後7人通通請回。

太陽花學運幹部，主動現身台北地檢署，找檢察官說明案情，一行7個人外加義務律師團，總指揮林飛帆、陳為廷，把發言權交給幹部。 

[[太陽花學運幹部 黃郁芬]]
“警察也淪為國家暴力的執行者時，我們已經無法對警察，約談、詢問的公正性，抱持任何信任，因此我們選擇拒絕警方偵訊，決定直接面對檢察官”

北檢派出七名檢察官分別偵訊，主要釐清318攻立法院行動，訊後所有人全被請回。

[[義務律師 顧立雄]]
“我們律師的立場，認為他們是無罪的，檢方如果認為我們主動到案說明，構成自首的要件，這是對被告有利的，我們律師團不會去反對”

顧立雄強調，律師團將以學運幹部們基於行使抵抗權和「公民不服從」原則，為學生做無罪辯護。
