Compensation granted in White Terror cases

A government foundation approved financial compensation and restitution for 52 cases related to victims of Taiwan's White Terror era during a board meeting late last month.
The foundation launched in February 2023 aims to restore victims' rights and reparations from unlawful state acts during the authoritarian period starting with martial law in 1949.
Among the approved cases, 51 involved loss of life or liberty, including public officials and individuals arrested for book study groups deemed communist-linked by KMT leaders.
The foundation sanctioned a financial award of NT$190 million aimed at providing restitution and restoring the reputations of victims, in accordance with the relevant restoration legislation.
This approval indicates ongoing government efforts to address past injustices, with thousands of claims submitted and most receiving compensation or restoration under the foundation's procedures.
