Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei Is Free To Travel Again

After four years, Chinese artist Ai Weiwei can finally leave his home country. Authorities had been holding his passport since April 2011, when he was arrested in the Beijing airport as part of a crackdown on political activists suspected of working against the communist party. The return of his travel document, which he shared on Instagram, marks a victory for the international movement that advocated for his freedom. Find more info here via The Guardian.
