Further Information about the Staged Tiananmen Square Self-immolation Incident
2011-02-15Ten years ago in January 2001, I was wanted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) because I practise Falun Gong. In order to avoid the persecution I left my hometown and went to Beijing. Several of my relatives and friends were officials in the CCP’s Political and Judiciary Committee and public security system. Therefore, my family often received inside information from them.
