It showed on the backdrop, for only 4 seconds. This has swiftly gone viral among overseas media. On August 9, "Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL", a light opera by Cirque du Soleil from Canada was put on in Beijing. During the show, on the stage backdrop, suddenly appeared the image of June 4th tank man. The "Tank Man" photo, banned in China, was taken by an Associated Press reporter at the Tiananmen Square massacre. Hong Kong's South China Morning Post reports that the auditorium went silent when the "Tank Man" photo appeared. Cirque du Soleil removed the photo in the next shows. Laura Silverman, Cirque du Soleil tour spokeswoman, replies to media queries. Its world tour in China got pre-approved by the Culture Ministry of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Lawyers Continue to Support Detained Jounalist The arrest of Chen Baocheng, Caixin media journalist, and seven villagers has close attention from the outside world. A number of lawyers in China have headed for Pingdu to provide legal assistance. Currently, Pingdu police authorities have extended the custody of Chen and the villagers for another 30 days. They have also rejected their bail applications. Lawyer Chi Susheng says that the police practices are violating the law. Meanwhile, lawyers gathered in Pingdu discovered a local luxury neighborhood office building. The lawyers call it "the most amazing neighborhood office". They have exposed it on the internet, attached with photos. Religious Killing In Xinjiang On August 15, a murder occurred in Turpan, Xinjiang. A pro Chinese Communist Party (CCP) religious person was killed in front of his house. Radio Free Asia has reported that the deceased was Abdurehim Damolla, vice chairman of Turpan Islamic Association. No news was released from local police. Reportedly, sources from the relevant CCP departments say that two of the three suspects have been arrested. The informant also reveals that one month before his death, Damolla was reminded to stop speaking for the CCP. The CCP has recently required the Uighurs to cut beard and not wear ethnic adornments. The RFA news has quoted Dilixiati, spokesman for World Uyghur Congress. He says that they are verifying the reason with local people. The CCP forcibly imposes mutual surveillance, and whistle-blowing among local Uighurs. This has caused a very tense situation locally.
