Taiyuan Incident

Taiyuan Incident (Chinese: 泰源事件; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Thài-goân Sū-kiāⁿ), was an anti-government rebellion in Taiwan in 1970. It was conducted by political prisoners and guards at Taiyuan Prison in Donghe Township, Taitung County, as well as some aboriginal youths sympathetic to their cause. The incident was classified by the government as a prison riot, while many Tangwai elements considered it to be a failed uprising against the ruling Kuomintang regime.
