On March 20, dozens of artists appeared at a performance art exhibition [pictured above]
at the Beijing Museum of Contemporary Art. Some of the pieces touched on the current crack-
down on freedom of expression and the "Jasmine Revolution," and as a result four artists were
detained. On March 24, Beijing artists Huang Xiang (黄香), Zhui Hun (追魂), and Cheng Li (成力)
were criminally detained for "causing a disturbance" by officers from the Songzhuang police station in Beijing.

On Facebook, the Soap Factory says the detention is "part of the deplorable government
crack down on creative expression." As Chinese Human Rights Defenders wrote on Mar. 31,
"The Chinese government has criminally detained a total of 26 individuals, disappeared
more than 30, and put more than 200 under soft detention since mid-February after
anonymous calls for 'Jasmine Revolution' protests first appeared online."
