Blind activist Chen Guangcheng, whose dramatic escape from house arrest and flight to New York captured the attention of the world in May, has issued a powerful video to call the Chinese Communist Party to account for crimes committed against the Chinese people.
These include crimes committed against Chen Kegui, Chen’s nephew, who was given a 3-year jail sentence for defending himself when officials broke into his house and savagely beat him and his parents. Instead of improving, Chen said that “the human rights situation in China is, in fact, getting worse . . . in China, no one is safe.”
