A French Councillor Wore a Yellow Scarf to Express Support for Falun Gong
2004-02-21"From this story, I can tell that some French Government officials' orders to "ban yellow scarves" and arrest Falun Dafa practitioners during Hu Jintao's visit does not represent the attitude of all French Government officials or the French people.
