People demonstrate to support the practice of Falun Dafa in China (Falun Gong), in Paris on September 30, 2017. China's officially atheist Communist authorities are wary of any organised movements outside their control, including religious ones, and analysts say controls over such groups have tightened under President Xi Jinping. Chinese authorities had outlawed Falun Gong in July 1999, branding it an "evil cult". Members claim that hundreds of followers have since been beaten and killed in labour camps, a charge the Chinese government denies. / AFP PHOTO / THOMAS SAMSON
