A Chinese activist who escaped from house arrest and was believed to be taking shelter at the U.S. embassy has now arrived at a medical facility in Beijing where he will be reunited with his family. A U.S. official confirmed Wednesday Chen Guangcheng will remain in China after receiving promises he will be treated as a normal citizen and allowed to study at a university. Chen is a blind activist who helped expose forced sterilizations and other abuses near his rural village. China has accused the United States of meddling in its internal affairs by sheltering Chen and has demanded an apology. The news of Chen’s freedom comes as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrives in Beijing for talks with Chinese leaders.
