Tama Talum prosecution

The Tama Talum Judicial Case, known in Taiwan as the Wang Guanglu case (Chinese: 王光祿案; pinyin: Wáng Guānglù àn), is a controversial criminal case in Taiwan involving the prosecution of Tama Talum, a Bunun Aborigine, for possession of an illegal firearm and poaching. Talum was convicted in 2015 and sentenced to three and a half years in prison. Following a ruling by the Council of Grand Justices which did not acquit Talum, Talum was pardoned by President Tsai Ing-wen. The case has sparked protests and much discussion of indigenous rights in Taiwan.
