Chen Guangcheng
In 2012, China Aid was instrumental in gaining asylum in the US for dissident lawyer Chen Guangcheng after his research discovered 130,000 forced abortions in Shandong. The organization helped him flee house arrest and escape to the American Embassy in Beijing. With additional help from China Aid, he was able to escape to New York on a student visa. China Aid was often the first to release news and updates on Chen's condition and situation throughout his escape and relocation.
