Intimidated, beaten, arrested and imprisoned, Chen Guangcheng, although becoming blind as a young baby, is a self-taught lawyer and human rights activist who has challenged the brutal practices of forced abortion and compulsory sterilisation of women pursued by the authorities in China which have led to tens of millions of babies being killed. He escaped house arrest, fled to the American Embassy in Bejing and was eventually permitted to fly to the USA with his wife and children. Chen refuses to be silenced and is coming to London and Brussels to share his experiences with senior politicians and to call for tough international action to put pressure on the Chinese Government to end these barbaric practices.

Right to Life and the All-Party Parliamentary Pro-Life Group are raising funds to make this trip possible to highlight the brutality of these policies in China and to present Chen with an award for his courage in speaking out. Chen's wider family continue to suffer persecution and intimidation in China. This must stop. Please help us to make this trip possible.
