Beijing Police Interfere With Filming in Tiananmen Square

Sep 28, 2007

Marije Vlaskamp of RTL Dutch Television News was told by police the rule that allows filming in Tiananmen Square without prior permission was ‘changed until further notice.’

She was allowed to do her standup under the Mao portrait after she started to phone the State Council Information Office to get an explanation of the new rules.

A plainclothes officer harassed her staff with personal questions about their address, their salary, and employment history.
