Chen Guangcheng not just a "dissident"

Chai Ling on America's Latest China Disaster | Christianity Today | A Magazine of Evangelical Conviction: One of the leaders of the Tienanmen uprising writes:
Chen Guangcheng is not just a "dissident." In fact, he did not even advocate against the central government. He is a folk hero in China, a defender of women, children, and the poor. Chen has worked tirelessly on behalf of women who face forced abortion and sterilization at the hands of the officials who should be protecting their citizens' rights. 
Words simply cannot express Chen's value as a human rights advocate. He is fighting one of the most brutal state-sanctioned human rights abuses in the world.
