Chen Wen-chen
Chen Wen-chen (, sometimes romanized as ''Chen Wen-cheng'') was a Taiwanese assistant professor of
mathematics (specializing in
probability and
statistics) at
Carnegie Mellon University who died on under mysterious circumstances. After the conclusion of his third year of teaching, he returned to his native Taiwan for a vacation. He was instructed not to leave Taiwan on his scheduled departure date. Members of Taiwan's secret police, the
Garrison Command, detained and interrogated him for twelve hours on 2 July 1981, and his body was found on the campus of
National Taiwan University the next day. The subsequent autopsy reported his death was due to a fall. Chen's death and the earlier
massacre of Lin Yi-hsiung's family are cited as late examples of
White Terror dissident suppression activities in Taiwan, although the case remains unsolved and the Garrison Command maintains it had nothing to do with his death. In 2020, the
Transitional Justice Commission released a report concluding that Chen was most likely killed by state security agencies.
