Chen not only overcame the hardships of being blinded at a young age, but succeeded in becoming an inspiring legal advocate.

We urge China today to end this ongoing illegal detention and to free Chen and his family.

We cannot believe China is serious about the rule of law while Chen Guangcheng and his family are being forcefully held and abused.
