The Washington Post

Earlier that year, Phillip Pan of the Washington Post authored a pivotal exposé of two of the participants in the “self-immolation incident,” a false “protest” the communist regime staged in Tiananmen Square in January 2001.  The incident was scripted by the CCP for the purpose of villainizing Falun Gong practitioners in the eyes of the Chinese public. Pan was the first to uncover evidence that the immolators were not Falun Gong in his article “Human Fire Ignites Chinese Mystery,” included below.

The Washington Post was founded in 1877. Headquartered from Washington, DC, it’s considered one of the top five dailies in the U.S. with emphasis on the East Coast and national politics. It regularly publishes new developments in the ongoing persecution of Falun Gong.
