今天，国际艺术家发起的声援艾未未的请愿书将超过13万签名者，同时有超过留言2600条。外国政府和媒体对艾未未的关注和对中国人权方面的批评已经大多见报。这里让我们看到一般不被媒体报道的一个个普通公民对艾未未的关注。这种关注来自世界各地，代表个人，而且基本上都署上真实姓名。在中国人普遍不能为艾未未发声的情况下，这些是非常难得的声音。
希望有人能够帮助翻译这些留言，以方便中国读者的阅读。志愿者请发送邮件到：

As a professor of media studies who has studied Ai Weiwei’s work over the years with my students here in New York, I ask the leaders of the world to step it up –to keep talking with the Chinese authorities until Mr. Ai is free.

Ai Weiwei is a fantastic artist and contributes a rare look inside the culture and people of China. I think that it’s counterproductive to banish him because he’s contributed so much to the way that we here in the West portray China and how the Chinese see themselves.

I come from HK. There is many marches supporting Ai Wei Wei. People drew in wall and ask “Who Is Afraid of Ai Weiwei?” And use projector to project his image in Chinese milliary office. However, strangely, the hk police acts very strict in these case recently. We contined to have different policies from China but I can feel the environment in HK is changing after HK returns to China. The Chinese milliary office said it will keep their right to sue but the teacher in HK University said there is no law in HK which the Chinese milliary office can use to sue people projecting image. I’m afraid that the chinese government will harm the freedom of HK. I hope HK will never be a province in China. (In fact I wish HK can be an independent state, like Singapore) I miss the days we can do and say anythings as we want before. I am very worry that the chinese government will force HK police to catch those people who support Ai Wei Wei in some strange reasons.

Countries where Artists cannot speak freely are countries with weak governments afraid of revealing their own incompetence and corrupted mistakes. This issue should be criticized and international ramifications against this injustice should be executed.

Message for Ai Wei Wei, I think China embracing spped Capitalism, while rejecting the future progenitors of new thought in life, like Ai Wei Wei, is hyprocritical and goes against the peace and tranquility Chinese culture has usually endorsed in world culture, signed, Thulani Earnshaw, African American Conceptual and Performance Artist

Tony that si a good point, however Corruption has become an empowering agent world wide since lack of clarity and conflict internationally means profit en mass for the other. Ai’s agency for clear resolutions by global power esp in his country means accountabiltiy for the contradictory power inherant in judicial incitements masking populist vacums in power consolidation of new global powers like China

as a Chinese, I am shamed by the cowardly actions of Chinese government. These are actions taken by a regime lack of confidence, lack of legitimacy, and full of cowardliness, shamelessness, and self-interesting.

Ai WeiWei is a great artist, who should be shared with the world rather than locked away. Supporting an internationally recognized artist will bring China more prestige than harrassing, arresting, and imprisoning him.

Dear Ai Wei Wei, I was astonished by your Sunflower seeds exhibition at Tate Modern – it made me think once more about the role of personality vs. crowd, and I was deeply touched by how this project helped the community where the seeds were produced. I hope we will hear good news from you soon, and will be looking forward to more of your creations!

There is no such thing as “western values” as far as fundamental rights are concerned. Freedom is breathing. Air is universal. Every honest man can tell: “the west” various efforts (Olympics) have not paid off. The tougher you rule citizens, artists, the weaker you get. The arab street shows how much so at the moment. Citizens are the lungs of the country. Stop choking yourself.
