More than 200 march in Taipei in memory of 228 ‘MAKING FORMOSA’: Before their march to the Executive Yuan, an organizer asked the crowd to imagine the kind of country they wanted and to ‘speak while we still can’ By Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporter More than 200 people yesterday marched in Taipei ahead of the 74th anniversary of the 228 Incident. The incident refers to a crackdown by the then-Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) regime against anti-government protests that began on Feb. 28, 1947, when security personnel at the Governor-General’s Office in Taipei — now the site of the Executive Yuan building — opened fire on civilian demonstrators who were demanding the arrest of those responsible for the killing of a bystander in an incident the previous day.
