Finnish TV Stations 1 and 3, Capital Daily and Evening News conducted detailed interviews with the two practitioners on February 15 and 16. The news agencies strongly condemned this outrageous behavior and invited a Chinese practitioner to give a detailed account of persecution against Chinese practitioners. TV1 also asked practitioners to perform a Dafa exercise demonstration for its viewers.
