Black and White Cat

Ai Weiwei’s surgery in Munich apparently went smoothly - two holes drilled in his head on Tuesday (or Monday evening?) to remove 30 ml of fluid from his skull. He says the pressure in his head has gone and so has the pain.

He’d been suffering from headaches since police burst into his hotel room in Chengdu at 3 a.m. on August 12 and punched him. They also kept him confined to the hotel that day to prevent him from going to the trial of Tan Zuoren.
