By Chen Yu-fu and Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe Transitional Justice Commission yesterday overturned the guilty convictions of 2,006 political victims of the White Terror and authoritarian eras, including former vice president Annette Lu (呂秀蓮) and Presidential Office Secretary-General Chen Chu (陳菊). Lu, Chen Chu, Yao, Huang and Shih had been on the staff of Formosa Magazine (美麗島). The list also includes former Free China (自由中國) magazine staff members Lei Chen (雷震), Ma Chih-su (馬之驌), Fu Cheng (傅正) and Liu Tzu-ying (劉子英). By displaying the lists of political victims, it seeks to remove the stigma that victims and their families have been carrying for years, it said. Kuo, Chen Hsin-chi and Chen Chin-sheng were convicted in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s respectively, it said.
