Wang, who represents the families in Kaohsiung of victims of the 228 Incident and White Terror era, made the comment during a news conference at Academica Historica in Taipei announcing the release of three new books on the period.
Wang said that he had not learned until he was 18 years old that his father had been beaten to death during the 228 Incident. [FULL STORY]
