Even though there were only two hours to contact the media, the two largest newspapers and the largest TV station of Estonia together with other media reporters all attended. They filmed scenes of Practitioners doing the exercises, asked many questions, interviewed individual practitioners and watched the video of Self-Immolation in Tiananmen Square: A Staged Tragedy? Some of the journalists revealed that a month prior to Jiang Zemins visit, the Chinese government had specially sponsored and invited the local media officials and other journalists to visit Mainland China, intending to prevent them from revealing the truth. Another reporter having understood the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong repeatedly enquired about how he can help; he even took the initiative to provide much important information. That night the TV station and the next mornings newspapers all reported the situation of Falun Gong.
Rumours unable to deceive the public; Estonias police realize the truth
During Jiang Zemins visit, as usual quoting anti-terrorism and security as reasons, he requested the local police to take strict precautions against potentially opposing parties including Falun Gong Practitioners.
At noon on June 13, in front of the hotel Jiang stayed in, a Swedish couple distributed materials regarding the truth of the persecution of Falun Gong to the pedestrians. The Chinese special agents rushed to the practitioners with a camera threatening to take pictures. A female practitioner openly raised a badge written with Falun Dafa is good to the Chinese special agents camera. After the agents left, Estonias policemen were called to move the practitioners away. Two practitioners seized this opportunity to carry out a two-hour long discussion with the policemen of the local security department, and showed them the pictures of practitioners in Mainland China being persecuted. Eventually, the police open-heartedly said, Actually we know that Falun Gong Practitioners are all very peaceful. We are not worried about you all. Our pressure came from the Chinese government. Subsequently, they asked our practitioners if the Chinese special agents had disturbed them. Before the practitioners left, the Estonian police requested our practitioners to regularly send them information regarding Falun Gong in the future.
The next day, Estonias nation wide newspaper utilized three quarter of its front page to report about the persecution of Falun Gong in China; it even published a large photograph of practitioners doing the exercises.
