【新唐人2011年4月16日讯】在艾未未失踪近两个星期之后，中国官方媒体开始对艾未未进行批判指责。艾未未的家人对本台记者表示，他们现在选择沉默，要求政府“依法办事”。另一方面，北京艺术家计划声援艾未未的行动却受到警方阻挠。
中国著名艺术家艾未未自4月3号从北京机场消失后，至今已经12天。香港《大公报》和《文汇报》在14号的报导中，批评艾未未犯有偷税漏税，重婚以及传播淫秽物品罪等等，还表示艾未未已经对所犯下的罪行“交代问题”。
对于媒体的各项指责，艾未未的姐姐高阁表示，官方从未按照法律程序正面回应家人，一味进行舆论抹黑，他们现在只有保持沉默。
高阁（艾未未姐姐）：“现在所有的官方报纸在组织对艾未未这部分的指责也好，罪行也好，都不是来自于官方。我们也没有收到官方或者政府或者国家比如公安部门的任何一个字的通知。所以我们现在对这一切都表示沉默。要求政府按照法律办事。”
面对媒体报导艾未未涉嫌经济诈骗案，身为艾未未公司法人的路青指出，政府税务部门本身违反法律程序，扣押了公司的财务资料。
路青（艾未未妻子）：“他们之前已经把所有公司会计室里面所有的资料都已经扣押走了。那是8号的事。12号让我到那儿去，我是法人，有一个笔述，让我提供相关资料。我什么都提供不出来，因为他们把东西都已经先扣押走。”（此外，根据艾未未工作室助手刘艳萍的说词，公司会计已经失踪7天。她还披露，国保曾经多次向艾未未传话，说上面可以请他当政协委员，但遭到艾未未拒绝。
刘艳萍（艾未未助手）：“就在他走（失踪）的前一天，我见到他，他亲口跟我说的。国保跟他传话的时候多次说过让他当政协委员。他没有同意。”
艾未未是北京鸟巢体育馆的设计者，在艺术界名声响亮。北京一群艺术家原来计划16号举行代号“一个行动”的集体晒太阳活动，要求当局释放艾未未，但消息被当局截获，其中两名艺术家王军与文皆已经被公安带走，现在下落不明，他们所在的沙龙也被当局仔细搜查。
艾未未失踪一事受到国际广泛关注。
流亡欧洲的中国诗人贝岭，起草了一封“致国务院总理温家宝”的公开信，并在各国发动联署，信中直指艾未未被捕，温家宝要负起直接责任，这封公开信已经获得捷克前总统哈维尔的领衔签署。
德国的政治界也集体对艾未未发出声援。德国《图片报》采访了德国主要几位政治家。
其中德国外长韦斯特韦勒表示，自由发表言论的权利和艺术自由是非常宝贵的财富。德国政府已向中方要求澄清这一事件。
德国反对党“社民党”主席加布里尔则指出，伟大而自豪的中国人民正处于经济，文化和政治变革之中，德国觉得自己是中国的朋友和伙伴。但是，恰恰是在朋友和伙伴之间，当为所欲为和不公正危及这个变革时，就不能保持沉默。

Family of Ai Weiwei Call for Justice
Two weeks after Ai Weiwei’s disappearance, Chinese
official media began to criticize Ai. The family of Ai
said they chose to be silent, but requested the authority
to follow due legal procedures in handling Ai’s case.
On the other hand, the action of Beijing artists
to support Ai Weiwei was impeded by police.
It has been 12 days since Ai Weiwei disappeared
in Beijing Airport on Apr. 3. Hong Kong’s Ta Kung Pao
and Wen Wei Po criticized Ai on Apr. 14 for tax evasion,
bigamy and dissemination of pornographic materials,
claiming Ai has “admitted” the foregoing crimes.
Ai’s sister, Gao Ge, said the authorities never talked to
Ai’s family members but unilaterally smeared Ai.
Ai’s family had no other choices but remained silent.
Gao Ge: “All the accusations of Ai Weiwei on media
were not officially conducted. We did not receive any
notice from the authorities or any related departments
such as the Public Security Bureau. So, we have to
remain silent now. We request that the government
follow legal procedures in handling Ai Weiwei’s case."
As for media’s accusation of Ai for financial frauds,
Lu Qing, legal contact of Ai Weiwei’s company, said,
the taxation office itself violated the law by confiscating
the accounting documents of the company.
Lu Qing: “On Apr. 8, they took away all the accounting
documents of this company. On Apr. 12, they summoned
me as a legal contact, interrogated me with recording.
They asked me to provide them with related information,
but I was not able to, since they had taken everything."
Liu Yanping, an assistant in Ai’s workshop, said
the accountant of the company disappeared 7 days ago.
The authorities repeatedly invited Ai to be a local member
of the Chinese political consultative committee,
but were turned down by Ai.
Liu: “The day before his disappearance, he told me
in person that the authorities asked him several times
to take the foregoing position, but he declined."
Ai Weiwei is one of the designers for the Beijing Olympic
stadium. He is highly regarded in China’s art circle.
A group of Beijing artists planed to carry out a group
sun-tanning activity called “An Action”, requesting
the release of Ai Weiwei, but the police intercepted
the info and arrested two artists Wang Jun and Wen Jie.
Their art salons were also ransacked by the police.
The disappearance of Ai Weiwei sparked wide attention
throughout the world.
Bei Ling, a Chinese poet exiling in Europe drafted an
open letter to Premier Wen Jiabao and circulated it
among European countries for signature. The letter
said, if Ai were arrested, Wen will be held responsible.
Former Czech Republic president Javier first signed it.
German political circle also voiced to support Ai.
The German Bild interviewed several major politicians:
German Foreign Minister Westerwelle said, The rights
for free speech and art expression are precious.
Germany has requested China to clarify this incident.
Sigmar Gabriel, chairman of the Social Democratic
Party of Germany pointed out, The great Chinese people
are in the economic, cultural and political changes.
Germany is a friend and partner of China, so when
despots and injustice are jeopardizing the changes,
Germany should not remain silent.
