China artist Ai Weiwei released on bail

Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei has returned home having been freed after more than two months' detention. Air Max Shoes Outlet Online He was bailed late on Wednesday after pleading guilty to charges of tax evasion, Xinhua news agency said. An outspoken critic of China's human rights record, his arrest in April prompted a global campaign for his release. The 54-year-old said he was back home and in good health in a phone interview with the BBC. "I am already home, released on bail, I can't talk to media but I am well, thanks for all the media attention," he said. Mr Ai was detained as he boarded a Beijing flight bound for Hong Kong. coach outlet Perhaps most famous for helping design the Bird's Nest stadium that became the centre-piece for Beijing's 2008 Olympics, he was held at a secret location without access to a lawyer. Beijing alleged the artist had evaded taxes and destroyed evidence; his supporters said the charges were motivated by his activism. 'I'm out' In a statement, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said his release "can only be a first step" and that China must now fully explain to Mr Ai the accusations against him. The German director of Human Rights Watch said it was "not by accident" that Mr Ai had been released shortly before Mr Wen's European visit, but warned he could now be facing further restriction on his movements. Nike Air Max "Examples from the past of other dissidents that were released have shown that released opponents of the system face strict restrictions and many have been silenced," said Wenzel Michalski. Rights group Amnesty International said Mr Ai's long detention without charge had violated China's own legal process. "It is vital that the international outcry over Ai Weiwei be extended to those activists still languishing in secret detention or charged with inciting subversion," said Amnesty's Catherine Baber. The circumstances of one of Ai Weiwei's relatives, his accountant and driver, who were detained at the same time as him, remain unknown. coach outlet British sculptor Anish Kapoor, who had led criticism of Beijing over the detention, called for the artist to be given a fair trial. "While I am thankful that he has been released, I do not think that artists should present their work in China until the situation has been resolved," said Mr Kapoor. The Indian-born sculptor had dedicated his monumental Leviathan art installation in Paris, unveiled last month, to Mr Ai. Ai Weiwei gained international recognition in the early 1980s for his monolithic brick sculptures.
