For instance, in 1958 when American military personnel shot KMT Major Liu Tsu-jan, it naturally stirred up anti-American demonstrations. Lin Chen-ting, a journalist who reported at the scene, was charged with "inciting the public" and secretly sentenced to prison, spending 25 years on Green Island. Another man, Pai Ya-tsan, was sentenced to life imprisonment and incarcerated for13 years for distributing leaflets critical of Chiang Ching-kuo.
例如 1958 年美軍士官槍殺國民黨少校劉自然所引發的對美示威暴動，現場報導的記者因被認定有「煽惑群眾」的嫌疑，而被秘密判處無期徒刑，在綠島關了 25 年（林振霆事件）；還有人因為散發質疑蔣經國的傳單而被判無期徒刑並關了 13 年（白雅燦事件）。
