Taiwan remembers democracy pioneer / Taipei Times 20090405

The Deng Nan-jung Memorial Hall yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of the death of democracy movement pioneer Deng Nan-jung (鄭南榕) with a renewed pledge to push for freedom and human rights.
On April 7, 1989, Deng, then editor-in-chief of Freedom Era Weekly (自由時代週刊), set himself on fire as heavily armed police attempted to break into his office following his 71 days of self-imposed isolation after he was charged with sedition for the anti-government views expressed in his magazine, which published a draft “Republic of Taiwan constitution” in 1988.
The site of that office was later named Deng Nan-jung Memorial Hall in commemoration of his bravery in calling for “100 percent freedom of expression.”
At the commemoration yesterday, cellist Ouyang Hui-ru (歐陽慧儒) played folk music and poet Lee Min-yung (李敏勇) read a poem in memory of Deng.
Kenneth Chiu (邱晃泉), chairman of the Deng Liberty Foundation, said the foundation would continue to advocate freedom, democracy and human rights with Deng’s spirit in mind, and that he hoped the memorial hall would one day be an internationally known human rights museum.
Born in Taiwan in 1947 to a Mainlander family, Deng clearly and publicly voiced his support for Taiwanese independence on numerous occasions in the 1980s — a time when such statements could bring charges of sedition.
A libertarian, Deng believed in freedom of expression and established Freedom Era Weekly in 1984 in pursuit of what he called “100 percent freedom of expression.”
Many young Internet users yesterday remembered him by changing their screen names to a well-known quote by Deng.
A number of people online appeared with screen names like “My name is Nathan, I support independence for Taiwan” or “My name is Kai, I support independence for Taiwan” on social networks such as Plurk.com, MSN Live Messenger or Gtalk in a coordinated action to memorialize Deng.
In 1987, Deng made a widely known statement when delivering a speech at a rally in Taipei: “My name is Deng Nan-jung, I support independence for Taiwan.”
The statement could have gotten him into trouble because the issue of independence was taboo under Martial Law. However, Deng insisted on openly declaring his political ideology because he believed that freedom of expression was a fundamental right for all people.
Nathan, an Internet user who initiated the action on Plurk.com on Friday, said that he was inspired to do so after watching a documentary on Deng and reading a blog entry by an Internet user last year that criticized the public for forgetting the price that Taiwan had paid for freedom of speech.
Without advertising the action through the mass media, the number of people who joined Nathan’s online memorial had passed 100 as of yesterday afternoon.
“When you know that you enjoy the freedom you have right now because someone sacrificed his life for it, you don’t have any excuse to not join in,” said Huang Man-ting (黃曼婷), a university student. “Someone may think it’s a stupid project, but at least you should learn to show your friends your political ideology and tell your friends what you believe in.”
While most people chose to join the action using only their online nicknames, Huang is one of the few people who did so with her real name on Plurk.com, MSN and Gtalk.
“The coordination is meaningless if you use your nickname. If Deng fought for 100 percent freedom of speech, we cannot discount it,” she said. “The KMT is still so arrogant because they know most Taiwanese are too afraid of getting into trouble.”
The action will continue until Tuesday, which marks the 20th anniversary of Deng’s death.

台灣大地文教基金會青年志工隊新聞稿
自陳水扁總統受羈押以來,社會各界無不關心陳總統案件,輿論界亦或各媒體平台均以最大程度關注此案發展。台灣大地文教基金會在此段時間亦收到許多社會各界對陳總統的關心與不捨,尤其是網路上許多網友的信件投書。網路是年輕人的平台,本基金會基於228台灣神信仰與自由民主人權的普世價值,今日特地來到土城看守所關心陳總統近況與傳達網路上眾多年輕人對於陳總統的溫暖關心。
本基金會青年志工隊代表在進入看守所與陳總統晤談後,發表以下幾點聲明:
第一:陳總統對台灣主體價值與台灣建國路線的堅持,與本基金會所提倡的228信仰,為自由民主人權犧牲奉獻的精神相符。陳總統在其著作”台灣的十字架”內容中,更是提到祈求台灣神,台灣魂幫我們點亮明燈,引領我們(台灣)走一條正確的台灣獨立之路。因此陳總統是228精神的信仰者。本基金會青年隊基於相同信仰之故,來此傳達同修同道的關心。
第二:請媒體停止對陳總統家人的騷擾。希望台灣媒體能遵守世界人權宣言第十二條:任何人的私生活、家庭、住宅和通信不得任意干涉,他的榮譽和名譽不得加以攻擊。人人有權享受法律保護,以免受這種干涉或攻擊。停止騷擾陳總統家人,特別是陳幸妤小姐。
第三:我們期待馬英九政府能秉持世界人權宣言中第十條:人人完全平等地有權由一個獨立而無偏倚的法庭進行公正和公開的審訊,以確定他的權利和義務並判定對他提出的任何刑事指控。停止對陳水扁總統與其家人的政治迫害與司法不公。回到台灣主體意識,站在世界自由、民主、人權與法治的普世價值下,拒絕共產中國的統一併吞路線。使台灣早日成為新而獨立的台灣國,繼續為世界文明貢獻。
陳總統在罪證未足之下被如此羈押與媒體公審,讓年輕人對台灣司法感到非常地不安與憤怒。不安源於連前朝總統都可以如此隨意被羈押,一般民眾豈不是也要任司法恐怖威脅。憤怒司法服務馬政府,違法亂紀濫用國家機器整肅政敵,破壞台灣自解嚴後辛苦建立的法治精神,將使年輕人不再相信司法,台灣的民主法治將蕩然無存;這就是要我們起身反抗,用生命捍衛自己的國家。

Your petition to Freedom House denouncing Taiwan clashes
Freedom House
回覆: Freedom House
收件者: hsutung5@gmail.com
Dear Hsutung Yang,
In the recent weeks, Freedom House received thousands of letters from concerned individuals like you urging us to speak out in response to the assault of demonstrators protesting the visit of the Chinese envoy Chen Yunlin to Taiwan. We would like to thank you for expressing your concern about the government’s response to the protests. This rapid and heart-felt response to threats to Taiwan’s democracy demonstrates clearly how important you hold democratic principles and values.
In a November 20, 2008 press-release, Freedom House called for an independent investigation of the clashes between police and activists during the demonstration in Taipei. Just like you, we are worried that the historic visit of Chen Yunlin and the reaction of the Taiwanese authorities led to unnecessary limits on democratic freedoms of expression and assembly.
Freedom House has been monitoring political rights and civil liberties in Taiwan since 1972. In the 2008 edition of Freedom in the World, our standard-setting survey of freedom, the country was ranked as “Free.” I encourage you to read the most recent report on the Taiwan, available in full on our website. Make sure to come back to our website on January 12, 2009, when Freedom House will release the new country rankings based on the events of 2008.
Since 1941, Freedom House has worked to secure, protect and preserve freedom around the globe. As people in Taiwan are fighting for their rights, and for the opportunity to exercise their freedoms, it is important for Freedom House to continue its work. As citizens of a free society we have a responsibility not only to embrace our own political rights and freedoms, but also to support the extension of those rights to everyone.
You can help Freedom House continue to provide unbiased information, put pressure on policy makers and assist human rights defenders worldwide. I ask that you consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Freedom House today. You can make a secure online donation through our website, or mail a check to the attention of Development in our Washington, DC office. Make your valuable contribution now.
I am hoping to count you among sustaining supporters of Freedom House.
Warm regards,
Paula Schriefer
