The brother of blind Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng was been beaten up in eastern Shandong province Thursday. Chen Guangfu says he believes the two men were thugs hired by authorities to continue the harassment against his family.
In a telephone interview with NTD, Chen Guangfu described the attack yesterday morning.
[Chen Guangfu, Brother of Blind Activist Chen Guangcheng]:
"Around 10am, I was traveling on a scooter along State Route 205, then a black sedan overtook me and stopped in front of me. I had to get out of the car, then two young men came down from the car and started beating me, they didn't say anything."
Chen Guangfu's family has been targeted by Chinese authorities ever since his brother testified before the US Congress last month. They've had stones, dead chickens, and beer bottles thrown into their yard.
Now, with Chen Guangcheng planning a trip to Taiwan, Chen Guangfu believes the Chinese regime is targeting his family to stop his brother's trip.
Chen Guangfu says his family now fears for their life. They plan to petition in Beijing if Chen Guangcheng does end up making that trip to Taiwan.
