Chinese Dissident at Beijing Airport, Ready to Leave for U.S. 
Chen Guangcheng, the blind legal defender who made a dramatic escape from house arrest and whose decision to seek refuge in American Embassy jolted U.S.-Sino relations, was scheduled on Saturday to leave China for the United States, according to friends who have spoken to him.Mr. Chen was booked on a 3:45 p.m. United Airlines flight bound for Newark with his wife and two children, although the flight was later delayed.
Speaking by cellphone, Mr. Chen told friends he was excited to be leaving China but that he was also worried about the fate of relatives he leaves behind. “He’s happy to finally have a rest after seven years of suffering but he’s also worried they will suffer some retribution,” said Bob Fu, president of ChinaAid, a Christian advocacy group based in Texas.
