【Green Island White Terror Memorial Park】

Located on the northeastern corner of Green Island, Green Island White Terror Memorial Park contains the so-called New Life Correction Center and the Ministry of National Defense-run Green Island Correctional Prison (sometimes given the moniker "Oasis Villa"). This haunting memorial was the site of major human rights violations. The New Life Correctional Center was established in 1951 and housed thousands of political prisoners who were subjected to hard labor and ideological reform. It was Taiwan’s largest concentration camp for political prisoners in the 1950s and 1960s. As a result of the Taiyuan Incident of 1970, the Ministry of National Defense constructed Green Island Correctional Prison, a typical high-security closed prison with high walls, where political prisoners were incarcerated from 1972 onwards.

In addition to the actual prisons that held political prisoners, the park also contains the Human Rights Memorial Park and the 13th Squadron Cemetery, where victims of accidental death were buried.

It stands as a memorial site that commemorates the development of human rights in Taiwan,and serves as a venue where the nation can confront its history of human rights abuses. The museum's jurisdiction encompasses Jingmei White Terror Memorial Park, Green Island White Terror Memorial Park, and the AnKang Reception House.

The Human Rights Museum preserves the poignant memories of Taiwan’s many political victims and promotes the conservation, archival research, exhibits, educational outreach, and international network of artifacts dating from the martial law period. It also aids in the promotion of historical sites of injustice, and supports organizations that are dedicated to tackling contemporary human rights issues and realizing human rights principles. Through these endeavors, the museum showcases Taiwan's commitment to the universal values of democracy, freedom, and justice.
