Today in 1989: motorcyclists solidarity with students
Hundreds of motorcyclists, calling themselves the "Flying Tigers," circulated the city outskirts as scouts and information carriers. Truck and bus drivers parked their vehicles in front of the military convoys since the Martial Law. Dozens of motorcyclists, drivers and member of Independent Worker organisation had been arrested secretly.
