S3-E41 - Shih Ming-teh 施明德 – “TAIWAN’S MANDELA”

Shih Ming-teh 施明德 died on the morning of his 83rd birthday,
January 15th, 2024. This Taiwan democracy champion spent a
combined 25.5 years in Taiwanese prisons for “sedition;” what the
one-party state called his activism. Shih would live to see
Taiwan blossom into a free society, and received recognition for
his role in the long, hard fight. But in the last decades of his
life, Shih's reputation took a beating - leaving a stain on his
legacy. Despite this, “Nori,” as he was called by friends and
family, will always have a place in the pantheon of
Taiwan democracy freedom fighters. Here’s his
