On August 27, Yuan Weijing told RFA from her parents' home in Shandong that she would continue her rights defense work . This is after she was abducted at the Beijing International Airport on August 24, when she tried to fly to the Philippines to receive a human rights award on behalf of her husband Chen Guangcheng. When the officials forcefully sent Yuan back to Shandong, they also beat her, causing bruising. Yuan's freedom of movement is currently still limited.
