• 中国外交部证实艾未未因涉嫌经济犯罪而接受调查 | reuters.com.cn

  • 中国政府周四证实，被拘艺术家艾未未因“涉嫌经济犯罪”而正在接受调查。

    中国外交部发言人洪磊在外交部例行记者会上表示，据他所知，艾未未涉嫌经济犯罪，正在接受公安机关的依法调查。

    针对西方国家政府对于此事的批评，洪磊说：“中国是个法治国家，将依法办事。我们希望相关国家尊重中国的决定。”

    “此事与人权或言论自由没有任何关系，”他说道。

    外交部此番表态预计不会平息艾未未事件在国际社会引起的轩然大波。即将离任的美国驻华大使洪博培周三晚间在上海发表演讲时针对此事表态说：“美国永远不会停止对人权事业的支持。”（完）

  • On April 3, 2011 Ai Weiwei was arrested at the Beijing Airport. While in custody, his studio was raided, his electronic material confiscated, and his collaborators and family taken for interrogation. As of today, it is unclear when and in what terms will Ai Weiwei be released, and his whereabouts remain unknown. In Weiwei's work, power and action depend as much on the circulation of objects as they depend on the free circulation of words. Preventing that circulation from growing into stasis is to prevent his words and his art from becoming inaudible.
