Aboriginal White Terror period victims remembered

Jih Chin-chun (日進春), a member of the Saisiyat community, was the first Taiwanese Aborigine to fall victim to the White Terror era when he was shot by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) military police at a riverbank in Taipei 69 years ago, the Transitional Justice Commission said yesterday.
Jih has been memorialized by a picture, in which he is shown laughing, captured just before he was executed on Aug. 29, 1952, the commission said.
The commission said that it has asked researchers to compile a booklet on transitional justice measures focusing on Taiwan’s Aborigines, including Jih, as well as stories of Paiwan
