TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Tsai Ing-wen, chairwoman of the Democratic Progressive Party, led supporters at Taipei's Liberty Plaza to sign an oath to save Taiwan Saturday night.

At a rally organized by 60 pro-independence societies, Tsai swore she joins with all the people of Taiwan to defend their homeland.

The societies formed an Action League for Saving Taiwan.

Yao Chia-wen, former president of the Examination Yuan, said the new league will sponsor a lecture tour of Taiwan to call for protection of Taiwan's sovereignty and prevention of President Ma Ying-jeou's sellout of the island to China.

After the rally, Tsai said the DPP will continue to urge people to take to the streets to promote its cause of Taiwan independence.
