Blind Human Rights Atty Cheng Guangcheng, Yuan Weijing & Child
Smuggled Letter out of China, describes the abuses suffered by Blind Human Rights Atty Chen Guangcheng and his wife at the hands of local authorities during their long and ongoing house arrest.
On the 11 February, I posted a video here about Chen Guangcheng and a related article about the senseless beatings suffered by him and his wife Yuan by China Authorities.
One week later, a group of 70-80 men, led by a local Chinese Communist Party official according to the smuggled letter, stormed the couples home in Shandong Province on the 18 February and severely beat the couple for two hours, according to Yuan wrote in the letter posted this week on China Aid website.
The smuggled letter for the first time revealed details of the beating and torture of both Chen and his spouse Yuan by Chinese authorities—Yuan has revealed that authorities have since put metal sheets over the windows of their home, confiscated their computers, DVD players, cameras, flashlights, books, papers and other belongings and have installed two surveillance cameras outside their now prison home.
