Blind dissident Chen's brother goes missing after fleeing to Beijing | Blind Chinese dissident Chen
Guangcheng's brother Chen Guangfu has disappeared after escaping to Beijing .
Chen Guangfu disappeared two days after he arrived in Beijing from his highly
guarded village to support his son, Chen Kegui, who has been detained on charges
of attempted murder. According to The Guardian, Kegui's arrest has become a rallying
point among rights activists. A Shandong-based lawyer Liu Weiguo said that Chen
Guangfu did not return to his hotel room in Beijing on Friday night. Chen Guangfu
has become the latest target of Beijing 's reprisals against Chen Guangcheng's
family after the activist's escaped from house arrest. Last week, Guangfu said
that he had been chained to a chair and beaten for three days to make him reveal
how his sibling had escaped from house arrest. His son was accused of attempted
murder after using knives against local officials who burst into his home a day
after they discovered his blind uncle had escaped. He could face the death penalty.
