Taiwan

We live in tragic days, which reminds us that discrimination can easily escalate to persecution and violence.

Intolerance becomes discrimination, and discrimination becomes persecution. This is what happened to Tai Ji Men.

The right to non-discrimination and freedom of religion or belief may conflict. International case law has dictated some rules to harmonize them.

On the United Nations Zero Discrimination Day, scholars and human rights activists discuss the continuing discrimination of Tai Ji Men.

Augustine’s words in his famous “The City of God” brilliantly epitomize the abyss of a state where social justice fails. Is this what Tai Ji Men is suffering since a quarter of a century?

Tai Ji Men is victim of egregious abuse and denial of its rights. An international campaign to support it is needed, including in the United States.

The injustice vested on Tai Ji Men is obvious. Perhaps new tools are needed to raise awareness of it in Taiwan and internationally.

“The Allegory of Good and Bad Government,” one of the most famous works of Medieval European art, is a perfect metaphor for Tai Ji Men’s teachings and tribulations.

Scholars and human rights activists celebrated the World Day of Social Justice and reflected on the Tai Ji Men case.

A written statement has been submitted to the 49th session of the Human Rights Council on how corruption affects human rights. It argues that the persecution of Tai Ji Men is “a clear case of corruption.”
