Dear President Obama:
Two days ago, we learned that Mr. Chen Guangcheng, a blind lawyer in Shandong Province, China, escaped from house arrest and sought refuge in the US Embassy in Beijing. We write this letter to you urging the US government to give asylum to Mr. Chen Guangcheng, so that he will be able to live a free life and never be persecuted in China.
Mr. Chen Guangcheng was sentenced to 4 years and 3 months in prison in 2006 for proving legal assistance to victims of forced abortion and sterilization. He was beaten and tortured before and after his arrest. He was placed under house arrest after his release from prison in 2010. He was forbidden to communicate with the outside world. In 2011, Mr. Chen Guangcheng and his wife were severely beaten after Mr. Chen Guangcheng released a video on the internet revealing the horrible exprience of his house arrest. His daughter was not allowed to go to school.
The persecution of Mr. Chen Guangcheng as a human rights activist is a typical example of how citizens' basic human rights are violated in China. Mr. Chen Guangcheng provided free legal service to the persecuted people, those who just wanted to have children according to their wills; he is a hero, not a criminal.
The grant of asylum to Mr. Chen Guangcheng by the US government would be a great help to China's freedom movement. We, a group of Chinese citizens exiling overseas who have been fighting for our basic human rights in China, request that the US government defend its fundamental value of freedom by giving Chen Guangcheng asylum.

致奥巴马总统：
2天之前，我们得知陈光诚——中国山东的盲人律师，从其被软禁的家中逃出，并进入位于北京的美国大使馆寻求庇护。我们给您写信，希望美国政府可以给予陈光诚政治庇护，这样他就能够摆脱在中国遭受的迫害，过上自由的生活。
陈光诚因为提供法律援助给那些被强迫流产和结扎的受害者，在2006年被判处四年三个月有期徒刑，在被逮捕之前和入狱后，他都受到了暴力摧残和身心折磨。2010年被释放后，他被软禁在家，并被切断与外界的一切联系。2011年，陈光诚先生在网上发布了视频，向外界透露他被软禁在家的恐怖经历，之后，他和他的妻子遭受了严重的暴力孽待。他的女儿也被禁止进入学校。
对人权活动者陈光诚的迫害，是在中国公民基本人权被践踏的写照。陈光诚先生为那些想要自主决定生育却因此遭受迫害的群体，提供免费法律服务。由此可见，他是一个英雄，而不是罪犯。
美国政府对陈光诚先生的政治庇护将是对中国自由运动的巨大帮助，我们这些为中国基本人权而奋斗的流亡在海外的中国公民，请求美国政府捍卫其核心价值观——自由，给予陈光诚政治庇护。
