About
Chen Guangcheng is a Chinese civil rights activist who worked on human rights issues in rural areas of the People's Republic of China.

He is best known for accusing people of abuses in official family-planning practices, often involving claims of violence and forced abortions. Chen is a 2007 laureate of the Ramon Magsaysay Award and in 2006 was named to the Time 100.
