一、活動主旨和說明

「台灣人權景美園區」，即原警備總部軍法處和看守所的所在地。是1968 - 1987年間，所有政治案件的拘押、審判、轉運或刑之執行的中心。70年代起，國際人權運動興起，台灣威權統治者監禁大量政治犯的訊息，也由景美軍法處看守所對傳出，引起國際人權團體關切，展開長期不懈的台灣政治犯救援，世人也從而認知台灣威權統治的真相。這段跨國奮鬥史是推動台灣民主轉型的關鍵，本園區從定罪與監禁的空間，改制為對人權奮鬥史的紀念場域，具有鮮明的象徵意義。

園區正式開幕選定12月10日「人權日」。活動主題定調為「奮鬥與救援．見證與致敬」，提醒國人不能忘記這段人權奮鬥史。承辦單位將邀請昔日的政治受難者和國際救援人士，一起參與紀念儀式，在國人面前見證這段歷史，國人也得以表達最鄭重的敬意。

二、活動主題與規劃內容

本次活動主題主扣合「致敬」與「見證」兩個方向進行規劃，說明如下：

「致敬」部分：邀請昔日的政治受難者和國際救援者來台，由官方表達感謝，表彰貢獻。政治受難者也得以和素昧平生的國際救援者會面，相互致意。本次邀訪的國際救援者來自日本、德國和美國；國內政治受難者以曾押在景美園區者優先邀請。

「見證」部分：將邀請政治受難者、辯護律師團，和國際救援者，在園區「再現」當年在「現地」發生的事。透過媒體的傳播，在國人心中重建我國現代史上最重要的一章。（園區的「第一法庭」即美麗島軍法大審所在地；多位受難者也曾在看守所服刑。此外，七十年代以降，各政治案件的受難者，也有多位在此服刑。「台灣政治犯芳名錄」外流，也由此地發動。）

Chingmei Human Rights Memorial Park 台灣人權景美園區
Opening Ceremony and Related Activities, December 8 – 10th., 2007

Background

Largely because the old ruling party continued to rule till 2000, and had control over the extent, pace and direction of Taiwan’s first phase of democratization, transitional justice in this country is still an unfinished business. Truth is only slowly emerging, with the consequence that reconciliation has little to base itself on.

Nevertheless, various efforts have been made. Two foundations have been set up to offer (mainly financial) compensations to the victims or their families of the Feb. 28 (1947) massacre, and of the long White Terror period which followed. Some files have finally seen the light of day. There is now the Green Island Human Rights Memorial Park 綠島人權紀念園區, whose expanse covers the sites of a ‘world-class’ concentration camp (ironically called the New Life Discipline Camp 新生訓導處), and of a political prison (even more ironically named the Oasis Villa 綠洲山莊).

The Ching-mei Human Rights Memorial park台灣人權景美園區, which opens officially on December 10th., is another in this series of efforts promoting transitional justice. This site is a vast compound which used to house the military courts of the Taiwan Garrison Command 台灣警備總司令部, where eight leaders of the Kaohsiung Incident 美麗島事件 (and numerous other civilian victims) stood trial under martial law, and a detention center where the cells can now be visited.

Opening Ceremony and Related Activities

The opening ceremony and related activities will be conducted in the spirit of witness and thanksgiving: Surviving victims of state terrorism and other citizens will gather to bear testimony to their sufferings under martial law tyranny, and to thank invited international friends who lent their helping hand in those dark days of Taiwan’s history. And all of us together, we shall also honor the memory of those freedom fighters and wronged victims who have vanished.

The activities will start with a welcome reception on the evening of December 8th, followed the next day, by a visit to the Park, where there will be re-enactments of past events, culminating in the opening ceremony on December 10th, the Human Rights Day.
