Activist not pressured to leave, says US
US officials have said they are still trying to help a blind Chinese activist who says he fears for his family's safety, and denied he was pressured to leave the American Embassy to resettle inside China.
After fleeing persecution by local officials in his rural town and seeking refuge in the embassy in Beijing for six days, Chen Guangcheng left on Wednesday to get treatment for a leg injury at a Beijing hospital and be reunited with his family.
