Former Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) chairman and democracy advocate Shih Ming-te (施明德) on Saturday received a lifetime achievement award for having dedicated his life and career to the advancement of human rights in Taiwan.
“I believed, I fought, I gave,” said Shih, who was presented the award by Kao Su-po (高思博), director of the Taipei-based Chinese Association of Human Rights.
The ceremony was attended by several of Shih’s close friends, including former DPP chairman Hsu Hsin-liang (許信良); Kao Yu-jen (高育仁), former speaker of the now-defunct Taiwan Provincial Assembly; former minister of foreign affairs Tien Hung-mao (田弘茂); and former legislative speaker Su Jia-chyuan
