Chen Leaves Embassy for Hospital, U.S. Guarantees Safety

Chen Leaves Embassy for Hospital, U.S. Guarantees Safety | LifeNews.com: In a new deal between the United States and China, Chen has left to a local hospital and is reportedly under American protection, as U.S officials have guaranteed his safety. Chen also received a call from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and he thanked her for supporting his case.

As part of the agreement that ended the fraught, behind-the-scenes standoff, U.S. officials said China agreed to let Mr. Chen receive a medical checkup and be reunited with his family at the hospital; his wife and two children joined him there Wednesday afternoon. He would then be relocated to a safe place in China where he could study at university — all demands activists said Mr. Chen had raised.
