National Human Rights Commission 2022 Annual Report
the poster exhibition, we aimed to let the public
look into the different aspects of human rights.
The poster exhibition also linked to the history
of human rights rescue during the White Terror
period.
With the archives of the National Archives
Administration and Kaohsiung Museum of History
and the historical correspondence of AI, we
depicted how AI engaged in the rescue overseas
with letters from different parts of the world and
how AI even sent staff to audit the court martial
after the Kaohsiung (Formosa) Incident (1979),
bringing a lesson of democracy and liberty to
Taiwan at that time.
