Taiwan has revoked a national arts prize from Indigenous artist Sakuliu Pavavaljung after his conviction for sexual assault was upheld by the country’s highest court.
The ministry of culture and the National Culture and Arts Foundation announced on 17 April that the national award for arts granted to Pavavaljung in 2018 had been withdrawn. He has also been ordered to return the accompanying NT$1m (£23,538) prize, according to Art Asia Pacific.
