Note by the editor:

We are pleased that Mr. Chen Guangcheng, his wife, and his children are free now, due to international pressure including the US Congressional hearings of his case.  However, we must continue our attention and caring for his other relatives and friends who helped him and are still in China. We are especially concerned for Chen's mother, brother, and his nephew who is in detention, charged with "attempted murder" due to self-defense in his own home.  Below is one of many reports in English and Chinese on the latest Congressional hearing of Chen Guangcheng's case.

 

 

Mr. Wei Jingsheng, the Chinese Lech Walesa, Advises Chen Guangcheng to Get His Own Lawyers for his Nephew Chen Kegui during the US Congress Hearing

(from Boxun, May 17, 2012)

 

 

In the afternoon of May 15, 2012, the U.S. Congress held its third hearing about Chen Guangcheng, the blind lawyer who was persecuted by the Chinese Communist regime.  According to this reporter, it is almost unheard of for the U.S. Congress to hold three hearings in such a short time span (from December 2011 to May 2012) for an ordinary Chinese citizen who is persecuted.

 

The person who chaired yesterday's hearing was Representative Chris Smith, who chairs the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, and Human Rights of House Committee on Foreign Affairs.  People who testified at the Congressional hearing were: Mr. Wei Jingsheng, who is praised as the Chinese Lech Walesa; Mr. Bob Fu, who has made a significant contribution to rescue Chen Guangcheng and is a good friend of former U.S. President George W. Bush; and Ms. Chai Ling, a student leader during the 1989 Tiananmen Square demonstration.  Reporters from several dozen international news media in Washington reported the event.

   

Pastor Bob Fu briefed the Congress on the latest progress about Chen Guangcheng's case.  Pastor Fu particularly appealed to the U.S. government and the U.S. Congress to pay attention to Chen Guangcheng's nephew Chen Kegui.

 

Reputed as China's Lech Walesa, Wei Jingsheng took the opportunity to remind Chen Guangcheng during Mr. Smith's phone call with Mr. Chen: "Do not accept the lawyers provided by the Chinese Communist government, but get your own lawyers..."

 

During her dialogue with Chen, Chai Ling said excitedly: "Chen Guangcheng, on behalf of four hundred million persecuted women sustaining arbitrary sterilizations and abortions, as well as their relatives, I want to express our highest salute to you.  You are our pride and we are proud of you.  You are our hope, and I hope that there are more Chinese to stand up like Chen Guangcheng!"

 

After the hearing, Wei Jingsheng and Congressman Smith accepted media interviews.

编者的话:

由于国际压力包括本周在美国国会召开的听证会,陈光诚夫妻及子女终于自由并来到美国。然而,我们必须继续关注那些帮助过陈光诚并留在中国的他的其他亲属及朋友。我们特别担忧的是陈光诚的母亲、哥哥、及在自家正当防卫却被正式逮捕并被指控"蓄意杀人"的侄子陈克贵。以下是有关最近的美国国会听证会的众多中英文报道之一。

 

 

中国瓦文沙魏京生先生在美国国会电话告诉陈光诚要给陈可贵请自己的律师(博讯)

 

 

2012年5月15日下午,美国国会就中国大陆中共政权迫害盲人陈光诚案第三次举行听证会。据记者所知,美国国会在如此短时间内(2011年12---2012年5月)就一个普通的中国公民被迫害举行了三次听证会几乎是绝无仅有的。

   

昨天下午主持听证会的是美国国会外交委员会人权小组的主席史密斯议员先生,昨天出席国会听证会的有被誉为中国的瓦文沙魏京生先生、为解救陈光诚做出过巨大贡献的前美国总统布什先生的好友傅希秋先生、8964天安门学生领袖柴玲女士,在华盛顿的数十家国际媒体的记者进行了现场采访。

   

傅希秋牧师向美国国会介绍了陈光诚案件的进展情况,傅希秋牧师在昨天的通报中特别呼吁美国政府和美国国会对陈光诚的侄子陈克贵进行关注。

   

有中国瓦文沙之美誉的魏京生先生在听证会的进行阶段借史密斯先生给陈光诚的通话之机提醒陈光诚:"光诚千万不要接受中共给陈克贵提供的律师,要我们自己找律师-------"

   

柴玲在与陈光诚的对话中激动地说:“陈光诚,我代表四亿被中共迫害、被任意结扎和堕胎的妇女和他们的亲属,向您致以崇高的敬礼,你是我们的骄傲,我们为您自豪,你是大家的希望,希望中国有更多的陈光诚站起来!!!”

   

听证会结束后魏京生和史密斯共同接受了媒体的采访。
