The event was held at the Jing-mei White Terror Memorial Park in New Taipei and marked the 76th anniversary of the declaration of martial law in 1949 by Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government. More than 100 people attended the ceremony and the event included a dramatization (戲劇化) of victim experiences and readings of names, along with a recitation of the "519 Prayer of Remembrance" written by White Terror victim Chen Lieh. Guest laid flowers at the monument in tribute to the victims and pro-democracy activists and women's rights also used the occasion to call on the government to designate May 19 as a national holiday.
