2014年的太陽花反服貿運動，記憶猶新。2017年，中國政府就給台灣人一場震撼教育。
2017年3月19日，台灣公民李明哲在從澳門前往廣東珠海市的途中失蹤，直到十日後，在3月29日才由中國大陸國務院台灣事務辦公室(國台辦)發言人證實李明哲因涉及「危害國家安全」的名義被捕。同年，9月6日，李明哲之妻李凈瑜接到一位自稱為李明哲委任律師的電話，告知李明哲即將在湖南省岳陽中級人民法院進行審判。在同年11月28日，李明哲被以在微博(wechat)加入「兩岸牽手QQ情」、「圍觀中國」社群，並管理在「圍觀華南」社群時貼出批評中國政府的文章等罪狀，被判處5年有期徒刑、褫奪公權2年。
被判五年，而起訴李明哲的內容，竟然只是他的網路言論，而在台灣享有基本的言論自由卻能夠成為中國定罪的證據。過年前，李淨瑜欲前往探視以轉往湖南赤山監獄服刑的李明哲，卻遭到中國再一次地作弄而無法登機。中國如此大國卻擁有如此舉動，不但說明了兩岸價值觀的差異，更彰顯了中國是一個人權「小國」。
很多人覺得李明哲被抓，錯的是李明哲，不是中國。或有更多人覺得李凈瑜及救援大隊這樣高調譴責，無法救人。但是李明哲被迫失蹤的資訊，就是在凈瑜及救援大隊一次一次地透過國際施壓，一次一次逼迫中國政府回應，開庭審判，宣判。
3/19李明哲被抓滿一週年。請不要忘記，還有一個台灣人還在中國赤山監獄，因網路言論入罪，至今無法跟外界聯繫。李明哲救援大隊將於3/19周一進行相關的倡議與行動，讓更多人了解到李明哲及中國人權的現狀，邀請大家一同加入行動，共同聲援抗議中國政權的惡霸行為。

“Commemorating Lee Ming-Che’s One Year Of Imprisonment: Press Conference, Protest March, Performances, and Speeches”
The Sunflower Movement demonstrations against the CSSTA trade agreement remain fresh in our memories. In 2017, the Chinese government has once again shocked Taiwan with its actions.
On March 19th, 2017, Taiwanese citizen Lee Ming-che disappeared while crossing into Zhuhai, Guangdong, from Macau. Only ten days later, on March 29th, did Chinese Taiwan Affairs Office spokesmen admit that they had detained Lee Ming-che on charges of “endangering national security.” On September 6th of that year, Lee Ming-che’s wife, Lee Ching-yu, received a telephone call from a man claiming to be Lee Ming-che’s lawyer, informing her that Lee was soon to be sentenced in the Yuayang Intermediate People’s Court in Hunan. Subsequently, on November 28th, Lee Ming-che was found guilty of joining the WeChat groups "Cross-Straits Hands Held Together", "China Observers", and "Huanan Observers," and posting articles critical of the Chinese government, and subsequently sentenced to five years imprisonment, with two years of being stripped of civil rights.
Lee Ming-che was found guilty for simply expressing is freedom of speech on the Internet. What is freedom of speech in Taiwan is guilt according to Chinese law. Before the Lunar New Year, Lee Ching-yu sought to travel to Chishan Prison in Hunan to visit Lee Ming-che, but China refused to allow her to board her plane. If China may be a large country, but with its actions, China demonstrates the differences in values across the Taiwan Straits, and demonstrates that in terms of human rights, China is a "small country."
Some people believe that because Lee Ming-che was arrested, it was he who was wrong, not China. More people may feel that in spite of issuing harsh condemnations of China, Lee Ching-yu and the Lee Ming-che Support Team have no way of saving Lee Ming-che. However, information on Lee Ming-che's disappearance to date has been forced out of the Chinese government through international pressure by Lee Ching-yu and the Support Team, regarding Lee’s trial and sentencing.
March 19th marks one year since Lee was detained. Please do not forget that there is a Taiwanese citizen in Chishan Prison in China, found guilty only for exercising his freedom of speech, and who to date has no way of contacting the outside world. The Lee Ming-che Support Team will hold an event to commemorate Lee’s one year of imprisonment on Monday, March 19th, to let more people know about Lee Ming-che’s situation and that of Chinese human rights. We ask everyone who can to join, to protest the tyranny of the Chinese government together.
