CNN: Chinese Dissident Says U.S. Let Him Down | The twisting tale of Chinese dissident and activist Chen Guangcheng’s refuge in the U.S. embassy in Beijing just keeps getting more complicated. Adding to the already divergent versions of events given by Chen and U.S. officials, Chen said, in CNN correspondent Stan Grant’s words, he “feels he’s been let down by the United States.” Chen reportedly said he didn’t get the full story from U.S. officials as to the events around his family, such as his wife being bound and interrogated by Chinese authorities in their home. Chen said, according to CNN, that he was “encouraged to leave without all the information, and now he wants to get out of China.” Separately, a Chinese-language website published what English-language Twitter users said were pictures of Chen’s supporters being arrested outside the hospital where he’s been since leaving the U.S. embassy.
