At 3 p.m. on December 10, the magazine put up two big signs at its front door proclaiming Chiu and Yao, both of whom had criminal records, to be "human rights martyrs."
稍後，黃信介與姚嘉文等先後登上宣傳車講話，高喊要警政署長孔令晟、高市警察局長李惟喬及鼓山分局長宋國璋下台，宣傳車四周的人群不免議論紛紛，開始鼓噪。八時十分，姚嘉文、施明德及另兩名徐姓及何姓男子，身披書有姓名的彩帶，走進大圓環邊的新興分局中山路派出所，表示要與治安單位談判。
