The Taiwan Human Rights Memorial Jing Mei Park (台灣人權景美園區)is the second one and the only one memorial park in Taiwan. The location was a site for trial and detention of political prisoners during the time of Martial Law in Taiwan. It became the memorial park in 2007 to remember those people who fought for Taiwan's human rights.

I do respect those people who fought for Taiwan's human rights and gave their lives. I also would ask all people "forgive, don't forget". Let's learn from history and do not make same mistake, but do not create hate!
