Ai WeiweiThese are nonviolent people who have lost their freedom simply because they expressed their ideasโฆ.In truth, they are heroes of our time.

The only way to avoid misunderstanding, war and bloodshed is to defend freedom of expression and to communicate with sincerity, concern and good intentions.
