Tai Ji Men

Celebrating the “World Citizenship Day” means also honoring the intrinsic right of every citizen to FoRB, which significantly contributes to a better society.

Taiwan’s reputation for respecing all its citizens is tarnished by a ridiculous and fabricated case that should urgently be solved.

On the United Nations International Day for the Right to the Truth Concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and the Dignity of the Victims, the suffering of Tai Ji Men was compared to other cases where religious liberty was violated.

Thousands of dizi (disciples) have visited more than one hundred countries in self-funded travels to promote peace, love, and conscience.

Only by solving the Tai Ji Men case will Taiwan prove that it is aligned with the tradition of the international declarations affirming human rights.

Being a citizen and a “full citizen” is different. The failure of transitional justice in Taiwan means that Tai Ji Men dizi are not really recognized as “full citizens.”

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.
