A deadline for the demolition of four houses in Dapu is fast approaching without any resolution. The houses could face demolition at any moment after the deadline elapses on July 5, and with the government’s refusal to change a flawed government policy, it appears that more families in the Dapu area are on the brink of losing their homes.
On July 2, Dapu Self-Help Organization (大埔自救會), Alliance for the Defense of Farming Villages (捍衛農鄉聯盟) and Taiwan Rural Front (TRF, 台灣農村陣線) began a sit-in protest outside the Executive Yuan. They demanded that Premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) personally come out to resolve the issue, and not trivialize the fact that four years previously, Vice President Wu Den-yih (吳敦義) who was then premier, made a promise to preserve the houses.
Two days into the sit-in protest, at around 3.30 a.m. in the early hours of the morning, a hundred-strong police squadron proceeded to surround and remove all 37 of the Dapu activists. During the scuffle that ensued with police, Chang Sen-wen (張森文) fainted and was rushed to National Taiwan University Hospital for observation.

聲援大埔案 30人行政院前靜坐 300警力凌晨突襲驅離
大埔，如果還有明天
學者之怒 吳敦義 江宜樺 你們還有人格嗎？
苗栗大埔案還沒解決，強拆事件又將發生，苗栗縣政府將在７／５期限後可能隨時強制拆除大埔四住戶，為了避免政府錯誤政策導致迫遷，造成人民流離失所再度重演，竹南大埔自救會、捍衛農鄉聯盟、台灣農村陣線集結群眾，７／２開始在行政院前靜坐抗議，要求行政院長江宜樺出面對話及解決，而不是避重就輕的表示三年前「原屋保留」公文承諾只是沒寫清楚，其實當年吳敦義院長有說出前提四要件。聲援團體靜坐兩天後，7/4凌晨三點半。警方大動作突襲，數百警力強勢包圍僅三十名聲援者，並在一小時後全數驅離現場。過程中，迫遷戶張森文遭警方抬離時痛哭失聲，事後昏厥送醫，送往台大醫院觀察。
