No NT Thread? Crazy story.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/03/w...es-us-embassy-in-beijing-china.html?ref=world

Cliffs:

Blind Chinese Lawyer/Activist beaten/put in jail/house arrest for exposing forced abortions in China.

He escapes house arrest

He gets to US Embassy after car chase through the streets o Bejing.

China demands him back

US offers him asylum. He says no because he wants to continue fighting for freedoms in China.and because Chinese authorities were holding his wife and allegedly threatening her life.

After assurances by the Chinese government that he'll be left alone, he is released to a Chinese hospital.

His friends tell him its about to be curtains for him, chinese authorities cut off much of his access to the outside world again, and now he's asking for the Americans to help him and his family leave the country.

Just cuz it says he'd blind doesnt mean he cant see ... lmao.... he probably has enough vision.

 

[dj b milk]

lol he wasnt the one driving. His fellow activist peoples drove him to beijing. US agents drove him from a meet up point in Beijing to the embassy.

 

[bravo]
