... libertem Ai Weiwei

Weiwei tem obra feita e internacionalmente reconhecida.

As autoridades chinesas não lhe dão tréguas. 

Qualquer pretexto serve para silenciar o intelectual, preso em Beijin. Agora, impostos e acusações de pornografia (uma foto de Wei Wei nú com quatro mulheres chinesas… que circulou na net) deram origem à repressão das autoridades, etc.

LIBERTEM Weiwei.

Ai Weiwei (born 18 May 1957) is a Chinese contemporary artist, active in sculpture, installation, architecture, curating, photography, film, and social, political and cultural criticism. Ai collaborated with Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuronas, the artistic consultants on the Beijing National Stadium for the 2008 Olympics. As a political activist, he has been highly and openly critical of the Chinese Government's stance on democracy and human rights. He has investigated government corruption and cover-ups, in particular the Sichuan schools corruption scandal following the collapse of so-called "tofu-skin schools" in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. In 2011, following his arrest at Beijing airport on 3 April, he was held for over two months without any official charges being filed; officials alluded to their allegations of "economic crimes" (tax evasion). In October 2011 ArtReview magazine named Ai number one in their annual Power 100 list. The decision was criticised by the Chinese authorities. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin responded, "China has many artists who have sufficient ability. We feel that a selection that is based purely on a political bias and perspective has violated the objectives of the magazine".

Chinese authorities are still silent on the whereabouts of Ai WeiWei, who has been missing for more than a day after he was held by authorities as part of a massive crackdown on pro-democracy dissidents. The celebrated Chinese artist is among a group of high profile lawyers, writers, artists and activists who have either been detained or arrested by the Chinese authorities determined to control any kind of opposition to the Communist government.
