Free Ai Weiwei - Hong Kong Remix

The music video shows the "Free Ai Weiwei" protest in Hong Kong organized by an activist group called "Artist Citizen" in May 2011. Ai Weiwei, a prominent artist-activist involved in the investigation of bean dregs construction of school buildings which killed thousands of children during the Sichuan Earthquake in China in 2008, was detained by the Chinese government for over two months from April to July 2011 under the pretext of the crackdown of Jasmine protest.

The music video, devoted to Ai Weiwei, is produced by PJ. Gonzalez in collaboration with Frog King. Below is the video's lyrics:

Creative message container
one two
Human message container
Right on!

Free!

This is a song for Ai Weiwei a friend of us all
You know he's been released
well, he may be out of prison but he's not free
He´s been silenced!

2011, year of the jasmine
a government crackdown sweeps up
bloggers and writers and human rights lawyers
but the son of the poet speaks on

(chorus)
Free Weiwei, free Ai Weiwei

"If there is one person who is still not free, then I´m not"
"China is a land with no truth, no justice and no soul""
"This is your country, you can do whatever you want to"
"It´s impossible to stop freedom
Freedom is like the wind"

On April the third, 2011
Weiwei the artist was detained
as part of a clampdown on dissident voices.
Now Weiwei is missing
so, speak out!

(chorus)
Free Weiwei, free Ai Weiwei

Freedom of expression, many people die in this battle
Let us raise our voices in honor of the silenced ones
Silenced by imprisonment, censorship or travel restrictions
"It´s impossible to stop freedom
Freedom is like the wind"

(chorus)
Break down the great firewall of China
Free China
Yeah, yeah
Bring down the great firewall of China
Free China
Tear down the great firewall of China
Free China

Yeah
Hundreds of thousands of online signatures were gathered across the world
This campaign, yeah, has been quite a ride
Wanna thank you, everybody
It was worth a try

Let Creative spirit fly!
Let Creative spirit fly!
Fly, fly, fly...
Let Creative spirit fly!

Ai Weiwei must now be granted his full liberty
and not be held in illegal house arrest
as has been the pattern with so many others
recently released from arbitrary detention
yeah
Full liberty!
Full liberty!
Full liberty!
The silenced ones...

It is vital that the international outcry over Ai Weiwei
be extended to those activists
still languishing in secret detention
or charged with inciting subversion

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression
If this is inciting subversion of state power
Then I wanna incite subversion

Don´t forget to sign the petition to paint green that red line!
