    Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has used the Olympics to prolong its final days by painting a picture of a "peaceful and magnificent era" to deceive the world.

Three months before the Games began, nine Falun Gong practitioners were detained in the Zhufu District in Yantai City. It is impossible to estimate the number of practitioners that have since been harassed, monitored, forced to leave home, and become destitute.
