Tai Ji Men

The celebration is an opportunity to honor the leaders of the Association of World Citizens and ask the government of Taiwan to effectively implement transitional justice.

The great Russian writer taught that we effectively confront injustice when we decide to stand against lies.

We live in the dangerous era of the so-called “post-truth.” Tai Ji Men has been an early victim of it.

Truth and justice are fundamental pillars of any just society. When gross human rights violations occur, the right to the truth becomes a crucial element in restoring justice and upholding the dignity of victims. 

New, alternative, and minority religions are persecuted and marginalized in several countries.

The attitude of some Taiwanese bureaucrats and politicians is reminiscent of Pontius Pilate. But not all hope is lost.

When governments repress citizens, they trespass their mandate for securing justice. The ongoing lesson of Taiwan continues to make the Tai Ji Men case one of international concern.

The government of Taiwan apologized for the 228 Incident. It should also apologize for the Tai Ji Men case.

Both the fight against the White Terror and Tai Ji Men’s resilience against persecution demonstrate that a passion for truth cannot be vanquished.
