Jay Nordlinger’s Impromtus column recently reported this tragic news from China:
Impromptus readers are well familiar with Chen Guangchen, the blind lawyer in China who has drawn attention to forced abortion and sterilization in his country. For what he has done, the state has punished him with jail, torture, isolation, and all the other cruelty it can muster. It has done everything but kill him, so far.
I should note, however, that recent reports say that Chen is, in fact, dead. لعبة روليت مجانا That they have at last killed him. These reports are unconfirmable.
But a recent event is perfectly confirmable: “. لعبت بوكر . . on October 30, 2011, 37 rights defenders and netizens who attempted to visit [Chen] in Linyi, Shandong Province, were beaten by around 100 unidentified individuals. Many of them were injured, and seriously.” I have quoted from Human Rights in China, an invaluable group. Their full report is here.
Among Chinese, there is something called “the sunglasses campaign.” Chen, like many blind people, wears sunglasses. Chinese have begun taking photos of themselves in sunglasses, and posting the photos to a website, in solidarity. What other action is available to them? Precious little.
A group based here in the United States is supporting this sunglasses campaign. This group, too, is invaluable. For the website of Women’s Rights Without Frontiers, go here.
The group’s president, Reggie Littlejohn, said, “The way the Chinese Communist Party has jailed, tortured, and starved this innocent blind man is nothing short of hideous. Chen is one of the greatest heroes alive today. He is the very heart and soul of China — the conscience of the nation.”
