Ai Weiwei Tax Evasion Appeal Rejected by Chinese Court
According to The Guardian, a Chinese court upheld a $2 million fine for tax evasion against artist Ai Weiwei after barring him from attending his own hearing.
“Today’s verdict shows that this country, more than 60 years after its founding still has no basic legal process, still has no respect for the truth, still will never give taxpayers and citizens an ability to justify themselves,” Ai said.
