By Chen Yu-fu / Staff reporterStudents at National Taiwan University (NTU) yesterday called on the school to turn over documents signed by Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) during the White Terror era to the Transitional Justice Commission. By refusing to turn in the files, the school is obstructing a government agency in the course of discharging its duties, the association said. The school is also denying Taiwanese the right to understand atrocities committed during the White Terror era, it added. Chen, an NTU mathematics graduate and an assistant professor of mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University, returned to Taipei on May 20, 1981, to visit his parents. Transitional justice is political, and a party dating back to the White Terror era is still alive and well in Taiwanese politics due to a reluctance to criticize the authoritarian period, the association said.
