• National Dutch TV Station Broadcasts the Truth about the Staged Immolation

  2005-04-15
  On the 14th March, a Dutch national TV Station broadcast a programme about Falun Gong which was produced by “Network”. It was arranged to be broadcast during the “Current Affairs Review” programme. Network positively commented on Falun Gong’s first appearance in China, its popularity, the large number of practitioners and the persecution. After its introduction to the public in 1992, Falun Gong was immediately very popular all over the country and attracted almost seventy million practitioners, outnumbering the membership of the Chinese Communist Party. Therefore, the CCP saw it as a big threat. They banned Falun Gong in 1999.

• Film about the Persecution of Falun Gong was Broadcast on National TV in Norway

  2005-04-13
  Norway is a country which stretches far, even into the arctic regions, with many places that are quite isolated. Therefore, this was a good opportunity to tell many people about the persecution in China who might not have heard about it before. For almost six years, Falun Gong practitioners in China have been suppressed in the evilest manner by the Chinese Communist dictatorship: hundreds of thousands have been sent to labour camps, thousands have been murdered, countless have become homeless, robbed of their work and income because they wanted to live by Truth, Compassion and Tolerance.

• Radio Free Asia: The Persecution of a Falun Gong couple after they returned to China shocks German Society

  2005-04-07
  It is reported that, although the German society and government recognises the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in recent years and has protected many Falun Gong practitioners with political asylum, most of the time, the cruelty of this persecution is far beyond the imagination of the officials who deal with these cases. Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Renzheng started to practise Falun Gong when they went overseas. The official who dealt with their application for political asylum did not believe that they would be persecuted after being sent back to China. So they sent them back at the beginning of March. However, they were cruelly persecuted soon after they got back to China. The event caused a great shock to German society.
