【新唐人2011年4月27日讯】艾未未被抓已经超过3个星期，世界都在关注。大陆民众顶着高压，以各种方式声援艾未未。而在香港，“撑艾未未”的涂鸦也越来越多，同时，一颗小行星被命为“艾未未星”。请看报导。
不久前，安徽合肥和北京街头出现艾未未的涂鸦，江苏周庄演唱会也公开打出释放艾未未的字幕，广州街头24号晚，又出现艾未未的喷墨涂鸦和挺艾的字样。
4月24号，江苏昆山举行了“周庄摩登天空”音乐节，左小祖咒、老狼、梁晓雪、何力、洪启等大批音乐家和艺术人士出席，在演唱会中，大屏幕上以英文打出FREE AI WEIWEI（释放艾未未）字样，引起各界轰动。
同一天，有网友将艾未未发在微薄上的博文发到网上。艾未未博文揭示了中国极权体制下，公众没有基本人权及自由的生存状况。艾未未还呼吁民众自醒及抗争。
艾未未在去年6月28号的博文中写道：如果我被官方指控，我将以沉默的方式放弃辩护、放弃上诉、放弃任何类型的合作，以示抗议，并表达对现有司法体系的蔑视。
而去年4月16号，艾未未在博文写上：你凌驾于国家与法律之上，你的权利地位不可碰触，不容置疑，你可以置异己于死地或让他消失，你依靠制造恐吓和谎言来维持，你掩盖、篡改、耍赖、欺骗、掠夺，你还不敢承认你是黑社会吗？这个国家所做的一半努力是，切断人们获取信息和交流的可能，另一半是将有正确答案并愿意告诉他人的人关进监狱。
不久前，网络传出有关艾未未受到酷刑的信息，这让他的家人十分担忧。
高阁：“但是这个事情一定要确认，现在又传的像真的一样，很具体，当然困惑更加增大了。我想总有一天会真相大白，只不过我妈妈她更多的是，心疼儿子会遭到这样一种毒手。”
国际特赦美国分部主任库玛表示：关于艾未未受到酷刑的问题，虽然还不能确认，但有理由相信，任何因政治理由被捕的人，都有可能受到虐待，以让他们承认某种罪名。国际特赦组织要求中共当局说明情况，并立即释放艾未未，还言论自由。
就在全球不断声援艾未未的同时，“小行星83598”也被命名为“艾未未星”。这颗小行星是香港天文学会会长杨光宇于2001年发现，国际天文学会去年批准了他的申请。
香港《苹果日报》“尽论中国”栏目作者李平表示，“艾未未星”不是肉眼所能见，中共的抹黑，令艾未未的光彩更加闪耀。中共的打压，正把艾未未由一位维权艺术家变成一位政治明星。中共当局对公共知识份子的整肃越严厉，艾未未等艺术家、独立学者、维权律师的遭遇就越受国际社会关注。
美国国务院22号向媒体通报，新一轮“中美人权对话”，将于4月27号与28号在北京举行。
美方官员表示，将利用这次对话的机会就艾未未等维权及异见人士被拘押，以及中共最近打压宗教活动等现象，向中共表达立场。

From an Artist to a Celebrity
After Ai Weiwei’s arrest over three weeks ago,
the world continues watching. People in China show
their support in various ways, even under pressure.
In Hong Kong, more graffiti supports Ai Weiwei.
And a little asteroid was named after him.
Not long ago, Ai Weiwei graffiti appeared
on the streets of Hefei and Beijing,
then on the screen of Jiangsu concert.
On April 24, supporting Ai Weiwei graffiti
appeared in Guangzhou.
On April 24, many musicians and artists attended
“Zhouzhuang Modern Sky Music Festival”
in Jiangsu. During the concert on a screen appeared
the words in English “Free Ai Weiwei”,
causing quite a sensation.
On the same day, through the website,
one netizen passed on Ai Weiwei’s notes
which read that under the totalitarian system,
there is no human rights and freedom.
Ai called for people’s awareness.
On June 28, Ai wrote in his blog: “If I were charged
by the officials, I’ll stay silent instead defending;
I’ll give up appeal and any type of cooperation to
protest against the legal system
and show my contempt.”
On April 16, 2010, Ai wrote in his blog:
“You are above the state and the law. You can make
others disappear or die. You maintain you power
by threatening and lying. You cover up, distort, lie,
deceit and rob, but you are afraid to admit
you are the underworld. You use half of the state’s
means to cut off access to information and sharing.
You use the other half to put in jail
the people who have the right answers .”
Not long ago, news on the website disclosed that
Ai Weiwei is tortured, which worries his family.
Gao Ge (Ai’s sister): “We must understand that now
this is the real thing, very specific but confusing.
I believe the truth will come out sooner or later.
However, my mother is afraid
that her beloved son will be hurt.”
The U.S. division director of Amnesty International,
Kumar said: “Even though we cannot confirm
that Ai is being tortured, we have reason to believe
that anyone arrested for political reasons
may be abused to force one to confess of a crime.
Amnesty International asked the Chinese authorities
to explain the situation
and to immediately release Ai Weiwei.”
As supports for Ai poured in, asteroid 83598
was renamed “Ai Star" which was discovered by
Yang Kuangyu, the president of the Hong Kong
Astronomical Society, in 2001.
The renaming was approved in December 2010.
Hong Kong Apple Daily’s columnist Li Ping said:
“Ai Star cannot be seen with naked eye, but shines
brighter by the slander from the Chinese authorities.
Suppression of Ai turns him from a rights artist
to a celebrity. The more severe the purge
of intellectuals, artists and rights lawyers,
the more attention they will attract
from the international community.”
On April 22, U.S. State Department told the media
that more “Sino-US” human rights dialogue
will be held in Beijing on April 27 & 28 this year.
U.S. official said that they would use the arrests
of Ai Weiwei and other dissidents
and the suppression of religious activities recently
to have a dialogue and make a stand
before the Chinese communist regime.
