The incident is disputed; Chinese government sources say that five members of Falun Gong, a spiritual practice that is persecuted in mainland China, set themselves on fire in the square.
Insiden tersebut dipersengketakan: sumber-sumber pemerintah Tiongkok mengatakan bahwa lima anggota Falun Gong, sebuah praktik spiritual yang dianiaya di China daratan, membakar diri mereka sendiri di lapangan tersebut.
