Jasmine Revolution

Four artists were arrested last month, following a performance promoting a Jasmine Revolution in China. The event, at the Beijing Museum of Contemporary Art, took place on 20th March.

Four days later, three of the participants, Huang Xiang, Zhui Hun, and Cheng Li, were detained. Guo Gai was also arrested, for photographing the performance. There have been isolated calls for a Jasmine Revolution in China this year, following the successful revolution in Tunisia and the subsequent Arab Spring protests.
