BEIJING (AP) - The wife of a blind human rights activist said Thursday she evaded surveillance officers to make a trip to the Chinese capital, where she tried to find out how her husband could serve his jail sentence at home.
Chen Guangcheng, 36, was beaten by fellow inmates last month after he refused to have his head shaved, his wife has said, leaving him with cuts on his legs and swollen ribs. A shaved head is a defining characteristic of Chinese inmates and Chen — protesting his innocence — had refused to wear his hair any shorter than a crewcut.
Yuan Weijing said she remained concerned about her husband's well-being in jail.
