The case of Chen Guangcheng has been raised frequently by the European Union including at the EU-China human rights dialogue on 16 June 2011. Mr. Chen, a blind human rights defence lawyer was, until recently, being held under house arrest in Shandong Province in China. Mr. Chen is no longer in China. He arrived in the United States on 19 May where he will take up a fellowship at New York University.
