1. [Yunnan Province] People Watched the Falun Gong Video Broadcasted By Satellite from Beijing

I heard from a friend that on November 20 around eight o'clock, when he was watching Beijing Satellite TV, the broadcast suddenly changed to a Falun Gong program. He was able to watch the majority of the program that exposed the lies of the staged "Tiananmen Self-immolation," including the slow motion analysis of when Liu Chunling was knocked down by a policeman wielding a club-like object. The signal lasted over twenty minutes. The program ended with information about overseas practitioners filing lawsuits against Jiang Zemin. At that point, the signal stopped, and there was only static.

According to a friend from another county, this was the second time he saw Falun Gong programs on TV. The first time was on CCTV in 2003. But this time, the program lasted longer and the images were clearer.
