Blind Chinese dissident Chen's brother returns home | The brother of blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng has returned to his village in eastern China, his lawyer said. Chen Guangfu had fled to Beijing
to seek help for his son, who is in custody on charges of attempted murder, the
New York Post reveals. "I've received a message from a friend of the Chen brothers
informing me that Chen Guangfu has returned to the village," rights lawyer Ding
Xikui said through telephone. Xikui, however, could not say whether Guangfu had
voluntarily returned or was forcibly sent by authorities. Chen Guangfu was kept
under heavily guarded home, but he managed to escape to Beijing to seek legal
assistance for his son Chen Kegui. Human rights activists have said that authorities
had increased their repression against Chen Guangcheng's relatives, who have been
under house arrest in Dongshigu. The activists have even expressed fears for their
safety.
