Christian Science Monitor, 10-11-2010: China puts Ai Weiwei, co-designer of the 'Bird's Nest' stadium, under house arrest
P's C: Ai Weiwei, one of China's best-known artists (and a vocal critic of the Chinese government) has been arrested for being an artist.
The Chinese government has now clearly defined that an artist's freedom of expression should only manifest in buildings and pictures of Hu Jintao. Shortly after his house arrest, Beijing police also arrested another couple for not aborting their second pregnancy.
In an unrelated development, the US has condemned the Communist dictatorship in Cuba for human rights abuses.
