Via The Guardian:
Chen Guangcheng, the Chinese dissident and legal rights activist who accused New York University of forcing him to leave because of alleged pressure from the Chinese government, is joining the Witherspoon Institute, a conservative research institute.
Chen will become a distinguished fellow in human rights at Witherspoon, which is based in Princeton, New Jersey, for the next three years. He will also be affiliated with the Catholic University of America and the more liberal-leaning Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice, Luis Tellez, Witherspoon’s president, said in a telephone interview.
