The 105-Man Incident (Korean: 105인 사건) or Seoncheon Incident (선천사건[1]) was the 1911 arrest of over 700 Koreans during the Japanese colonial period.
In 1911, apparently as a result of several Korean attempts in 1910 to assassinate Terauchi Masatake, the Governor-General of Korea arrested over 700 Koreans, many of whom were Christian. In 1912, the Governor-General sent 122 of those arrested to the Court of Justice, and 105 of them were sentenced to imprisonment with hard labor. In the end, only six Koreans had their sentences imposed, but even they were released in 1915 after being granted amnesty.[2]
