Yeh Hung-ling (Chinese: 葉虹靈) is a Taiwanese activist and politician.
Yeh served the Taiwan Association for Truth and Reconciliation (TATR) as executive secretary and chief executive.[1][2][3] While she was affiliated with the organization, Yeh's views on the February 28 Incident,[4] transitional justice,[5] and Lung Ying-tai[6] were published in the Taipei Times. By 2016, Yeh had left her position at TATR,[7][8] but continued advocating for victims of the February 28 Incident and their families.[9]
On 7 April 2018, Yeh was nominated to serve on the Transitional Justice Commission.[14] In materials submitted to the Legislative Yuan, Yeh opined that the primary focus on the committee should not be on handling authoritarian symbols, but on uncovering the truth and determining accountability.[15][16] Her nomination was confirmed by the Legislative Yuan in May 2018.[17][18] Yeh became the commission's spokesperson.[19][20][21][22]
After the legislature voted to extend the term of the commission, Yeh's reappointment was confirmed in May 2020.[23] Yeh was additionally elevated to vice chairwoman of the commission.[24] When Yang Tsui [zh] resigned as chair of the Transitional Justice Commission, Yeh was named acting chair. In this position, Yeh commented on the possible removal of the Chiang Kai-shek statue at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall,[25][26] discussed the commission's research into the Dang Guo system,[27] and remarked on the commission's finding that Chiang Ching-kuo was an authoritarian figure, and the Ching-kuo Chi-hai Cultural Park [zh] was an authoritarian symbol.[28] She remained the commission's acting leader until May 2022, when its final report was published.[29][30]
