Legacy
Two years later (in December 1979) the Kuomintang arrested all of the leaders of the anti-Kuomintang movement who had organised a gathering at Kaohsiung on International Human Rights Day. The purge is known as the Ilha Formosa Meilitao Incident or, more simply, the Kaohsiung Incident . The entire leadership was sentenced to long prison terms, including DPP politician Chen Chu, and Shi Ming-teh, labelled as Taiwan's Nelson Mandela, who was handed a life sentence. Shi was later released with the arrival of democracy.
