In one of his answers, Mr Chen confirmed that he had been told that Chinese
officials had threatened to beat his wife to death.

Mr Chen said he had been given this information by a US embassy official.

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement that no US
official spoke to Mr Chen about physical or legal threats to his wife and
children.

Nor did the Chinese relay any such threats to American diplomats, she said.

She did confirm that the Chinese intended to return his family to their home
province of Shandong, where they had been detained illegally and beaten by
local officials angry over Mr Chen’s campaigns to expose forced abortions,
and that they would lose any chance of being reunited.

But the turn in Mr Chen’s fate comes after nearly seven years of prison, house
arrest and abusive treatment of him and his family members by local
officials.

Chen’s flight into the protection of US diplomats in Beijing last week had
created a delicate diplomatic crisis for Washington and Beijing.
