The Chinese artist/activist has now closed his latest exhibition in Denmark to protest the country’s new law allowing authorities to take valuable items from refugees seeking asylum.
cc @cdb_77 re sa venue à lesbos qui me laissait dubitatif, finalement, peut-être pas... Fermer une expo c’est pas tout le monde qui le fait.

Ai Weiwei Says He’s Closing Danish Exhibition in Protest of Refugee Law
The dissident artist and activist Ai Weiwei said on Wednesday that he would close his current exhibition at the Faurschou Foundation in Copenhagen in protest of a new law allowing Denmark to confiscate refugees’ valuables to help pay for their stay in the country.

Suite au durcissement de la loi sur l’immigration, Ai Weiwei boycotte le Danemark
S’il est une chose que l’on ne peut pas reprocher à Ai Weiwei, c’est de manquer de courage ou de cohérence dans ses convictions. Le grand artiste chinois a décidé mercredi de fermer « Ruptures », une exposition qui lui est consacrée à Copenhague, en signe de protestation. La raison ? La veille, au terme d’un débat de plus de trois heures, le Danemark avait adopté une loi sur l’immigration qui permet de saisir les biens de valeur des demandeurs d’asile.

More than 1,000 Pakistanis have been recruited to serve in the Bahrain National Guards, learnt on Sunday.
The recruitment has been made through the military-run Bahria Foundation and Fauji Foundation, which train the selected personnel before sending them to Bahrain.
Sources said that although the recruitment process had started much before the eruption of the current unrest in Bahrain, authorities have been continuing the process. The two organisations have been asked to complete the training process as early as possible.
Ce sont donc bien des mercenaires étrangers qui sont chargés de réprimer la population civile de #Bahreïn. Rien ne change jamais.
