Notes on a detention


On the occasion of Ai Weiwei's release, the authors note that 
self-censorship is still the greatest asset of authoritarian efforts 
against unwanted cultural voices

Ai Weiwei was released on 22.06.2011, which is a relief for him, his 
family, and his international supporters. But his 11 weeks of 
detention left many questions unanswered, including 
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/22/ai-weiwei-friends-missing>where 
are Wen, Zhang Jinsong, Hu Mingfen and Liu Zhenggang? Ai Weiwei's 
release is as political as was his detention.
