According to the act, victims could claim compensation within seven years of Oct. 7, 1995. As a result, they could not claim compensation, Yang said. For these reasons, Yang said he has requested the ministry to extend the period to claim compensation. The Report of the 228 Incident was published in 1992, and a memorial was set up in 1995 at the 228 Peace Park in Taipei. In October 1995, the state-funded Memorial Foundation of 228 was established to deal with compensation and rehabilitation of 228 Incident victims.
