ComicCon, the Olympics, and Torture

What do ComicCon, the Beijing Olympics, and torture have in common? Unfortunately, it’s Chinese comic artist Jingxiong Guo, who was arrested and tortured on his return to China after a visit to the 2007 convention in San Diego. Watch the video for more.

Guo fled China for the United States again before the Olympics.

Keep writing, painting, drawing, composing, sculpting: Art scares tyrants.
