(Clearwisdom.net) On the 14th of March, a Dutch national TV Station broadcasted a program about Falun Gong, which was produced by "NETWERK". It was broadcasted during the "Current Affairs Review" program.

The program made by NETWERK positively commented on the spread of Falun Gong since its introduction to the public in 1992 and the fact that the practice soon drew nearly 70 million practitioners. As Falun Gong practitioners outnumbered the Chinese Communist party members, the CCP viewed Falun Gong as a threat and thus banned and started to persecute the practice. In this special program, using the "Tiananmen Square Self-Immolation" video clip as evidence, a commentator pointed out that the "Self-immolation" was a staged tragedy. The commentator also went on to say that the Chinese Communist regime had used extreme inhumane torture methods to persecute practitioners and killed more than 1,500 practitioners.

At the beginning of the program, the TV station played a segment of the video of a CCTV reporter's interview with Chen Guo and her mother. This clip was taken from a propaganda program that the Chinese Communist Party used to deceive the international media, which was once broadcast in Holland in May 2003. The program then went on to play some important footage from "False Fire." The program had clear English commentary explanations, and added a Dutch commentary and inserted Dutch captions at key points. Furthermore, the program also showed an interview of a practitioner who commented on suspicious points of the staged tragedy, so that the viewers can clearly see that the "Self-Immolation" broadcasted by CCTV was directed by the Jiang regime in order to frame Falun Gong. The program allowed the audience to find the truth on their own and to realize the Chinese Communist Party's malicious intention to fabricate lies and frame Falun Gong to instigate the public's hatred towards the practice.

This TV program about the staged "Self-immolation" touched people's hearts and answered their questions and doubts. Thereafter, practitioners could feel people's sincere and joyful mood during their truth-clarification efforts. A practitioner who often goes on the streets to distribute fliers said that people who took fliers often told her: "I have watched the TV program, thank you." One practitioner said, when he was giving one passerby a flier, that person was excited and said: "I got one of this kind yesterday and I have read it. Falun Gong is good."

During Easter, practitioners were very busy in distributing truth-clarifying materials. However, whenever they shouted: "Please read the Falun Dafa Reader!" There were always people who made their way through the crowd to get a copy, and there were also people who came back for more copies. As many westerners don't know China is controlled by a totalitarian regime, they often asked: "Your government is harming your citizens so much and the party is bad, why don't you get rid of it in the next election!" Recently, more and more people have come to practitioners for more information and to learn the practice.

While the Jiang regime has exported the persecution of Falun Gong overseas, the "self-immolation" interview was made in particular to deceive international media. The Chinese Communist Party has been investigating ways to deceive and mislead westerners. For those who don't know the evil nature of the party, the tragic disfigurement photos are very misleading.

To expose the truth of the "self-immolation," practitioners in the Netherlands have been persistently clarifying the truth to the media and the government. The media is changing, as a result. After several analyses of the "self-immolation" video and careful study of related materials, they concluded that the "self-immolation" was a staged tragedy. In a letter to practitioners, they wrote: "It seems that the message from the Chinese authority isn't credible."

We commend the Dutch media's just act of broadcasting the truth of the "self-immolation." It has made a significant contribution in leading the kind-hearted Dutch people towards a bright future.
