- Description:
- Chen Guangcheng is a blind Chinese human rights activist, known affectionately to his many supporters as "the barefoot lawyer", who has recently been imprisoned on trumped-up charges of damaging property and disrupting traffic.
In fact, Chen is a political prisoner.
Chen's real "crime", in the eyes of the brutal and repressive Chinese government, has been to expose the true horrific nature of the coercive population control programme in Shangdong Province. This has included forced abortions and forced sterilizations for many thousands of Chinese women. These abuses are frequently accompanied by violence, intimidation and brutality.
Whether or not we agree with abortion, surely we can all agree that the coercive policies of the Chinese government are indefensible.
No-one should ever be forced to have an abortion, or to be sterilized against their will, under threat of violence and torture. And certainly no-one should be imprisoned for helping to expose such practices.

You can help this incredibly brave and steadfast man! You can make a difference.
33 MPs have signed an Early Day Motion on this issue:
http://edmi.parliament.uk/EDMi/EDMDetails.aspx?EDMID=32252&SESSION=885
Please contact your MP to ask him or her to seriously consider signing this EDM.
More importantly still, please contact the Chinese Embassy:
The Ambassador
Embassy of the People's Republic of China
49-51 Portland Place
London
W1B 1JL
I will soon have a quantity of posctards which can be sent to the Chinese Embassy if anyone wants to do so.
Please consider doing this!
If you have a faith, please pray for Chen and for all those who have been targeted by the Chinese regime. Please pray too for those who administer and order this policy, that they may have a change of heart.
Thanks!
