Hollywood Actor Christian Bale assaulted by Chinese security guards as he attempted to visit human rights lawyer Chen Guangcheng


CNN reports that actor Christian Bale was yesterday stopped from visiting Chen Guangcheng by Chinese security. Chen Guangcheng is a Chinese lawyer and human rights activist who has repeatedly brought international attention to the coercive population control policies arising from the Chinese One Child Policy. These human rights abuses include forced abortions and forced sterilisations.
He is under house arrest in China for some years. Hopefully this incident will bring more worldwide attention to Chen Guangcheng's plight.
