The Associated Press moved into our building a few months ago, and today there’s several dozen Falun Gong demonstrators outside, protesting this story from last week:

XINMI, China – Three years ago, he was a die-hard Falun Gong (news – web sites) follower, serving a life sentence for trying to set himself afire in the name of the spiritual movement banished by China as “evil.”
Today, with his prison term drastically cut to 19 years for good behavior, Liu Yunfang is a convert of a different sort — and one Beijing is eager to showcase as a successful “rehabilitation.”
The protesters say the AP fell for “communist propaganda.” “Is AP willingly serving as a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party in its deadly campaign against Falun Gong?” asks a flier one handed me.
So far, nothing on the wire about it. (I have no opinion on this, just passing it along)
