Chen Guangcheng, a blind Chinese lawyer and human-rights activist, is joining the Witherspoon Institute, a research center that says it works to enhance public understanding of the moral foundations of free and democratic societies.
Chen, who fled China last year with the diplomatic intervention of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, will be a distinguished fellow with the Princeton, New Jersey-based group, according to institute official Matthew Franck.
