Oslo [Norway], June 10 (ANI): Battling an identity crisis, Taiwan nationals who have been legally fighting the Norwegian government over being forced to register as 'Chinese' instead of Taiwanese, have now taken the matter to European court of human rights.
Joseph Liu chose Norway for his legal studies because he wanted to learn more about human rights. But instead, he’s been fighting the Norwegian government for the past four years for the right to use his national identity.
Following a diplomatic row with China in 2010, Norway changed the nationality of its Taiwanese residents to “Chinese.” Liu and others launched the My Name, My Right movement to raise funds and pressure the authorities to change the country designation back to Taiwan. They eventually took the case to the Norwegian supreme court, where they lost in November last year.
