A court in Taiwan ruled Wednesday in favor of a Japanese man seeking recognition that his father died in the so-called 228 Incident, a postwar period of brutal repression by Taiwanese authorities.
The man is seeking compensation for his father's death.
The Taipei High Administrative Court ruled that the Memorial Foundation of 228 must compensate Keisho Aoyama, of Okinawa Prefecture, to the tune of 6 million Taiwanese dollars (¥20 million) for his father's wrongful death.
