BEIJING -- Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng said Friday his nephewis facing a charge of intentional murder after attackingofficials who broke into his home, despite the fact no one died inthe encounter. The nephew, Chen Kegui, is in detention after he attacked intruderswho broke into the family home in eastern Shandong provinceapparently searching for his uncle following his dramatic escapefrom house arrest last month. Lawyers for the nephew have said a local Communist Party officialwas injured seriously in the fight in the early hours of April 27and two others were slightly injured, but no one died. But Chen Guangcheng said police had issued an arrest warrantcharging his nephew with intentional murder an assertionbacked by rights lawyers who have taken up his case. This is outrageous, it is totally unreasonable, the blindactivist told AFP by phone from the Beijing hospital where he isbeing treated for injuries sustained during the escape. Up to 10 people battered down the door and entered the homelooking for me, but when they couldn't find me, they began beatingpeople ... Chen Kegui was clubbed over the head so he picked up theknife and defended himself. Police in Yinan County, that oversee Dongshigu village, where Chenwas kept under house arrest, refused to comment when contacted byAFP. The news comes a day after Chen accused authorities in Shandong oftargeting his relatives in retaliation after he escaped from underthe noses of guards on April 22 and fled to the U.S. embassy inBeijing. Rights lawyers confirmed the murder charge, but said it wasunlikely to stick because no one had been killed. I don't believe this kind of criminal charge will stand becauseChen was only engaged in self-defense, lawyer Liu Weiguo toldAFP. Even if it wasn't self-defense, the most they could charge himwith is intentional injury, not intentional murder .. no one waskilled. Chen said the seriously wounded official, named Zhang Jian, hadburst into his home up to five times during his house arrest,confiscating and breaking household belongings while neverproducing legal documents permitting entry. This Zhang Jian many times led a group of people into our home,to beat and take our belongings, there was never any legalprocedures, Chen said.
