Chinese court rejects artist's lawsuit
A Chinese court today rejected artist Ai Weiwei’s lawsuit over a 15 million yuan (€1.9m) fine imposed on his company for tax evasion.
Ai, an internationally renowned artist detained for three months last year after making remarks critical of the government, was barred from the Beijing court where the ruling was announced in a case he says is part of an intimidation campaign to stop him from criticising the government.
