China's Crackdown on Falun Gong
Witness
In July 1999, the spiritual movement Falun Gong was banned in China.
Thousands of people were arrested. The Chinese government says Falun Gong is
an "evil cult", but followers of the movement say they have been the victims
of state persecution.
Witness speaks to Falun Gong practitioner Chao Yu and journalist Ian Johnson.
