Clarifying the Truth on the BBC's World News TV Program

August 17, 2001

Today the BBC World News, "Asia Today" Program interviewed a Falun Gong practitioner about whether or not the four people who are now being sentenced for their role in the "self-immolation incident" are real Falun Gong practitioners or not, as charged by the Chinese government. The program was broadcast live worldwide.

The practitioner expressed disbelief that the people being sentenced could be genuine Falun Gong practitioners, stating that their actions were against Falun Gong practitioners' principles, as all killing, including suicide, is not allowed in our practice. The program host positively confirmed that the Jiang Zemin regime tried to defame and create mistrust and opposition towards Falun Gong among the Chinese people by staging this event.

Earlier in the day another UK practitioner also appeared on the BBC World TV news to clarify the truth on the hourly news bulletin.

Truth is truth. Evil is evil. No matter what the Jiang Zemin regime tries to do, the truth will be revealed to the world.
