By Lee I-chia / Staff reporter
Former president Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) yesterday said he has made efforts to redress the wrongs of the 228 Incident over the past three decades.
Ma made the remarks at a commemorative event for the 74th anniversary of the 228 Incident in Taipei. The event was organized by the Taipei City Government and the Taipei 228 Memorial Museum.
The 228 Incident refers to an uprising in 1947 against the then-Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) regime and the resulting crackdown that left thousands dead and led to nearly four decades of martial law.
