Hong Kong arrests pair over Ai Weiwei graffiti

Hong Kong has arrested two activists for spraying graffiti images of detained outspoken Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, in an action condemned by a pro-democracy group Monday as “selective persecution”.

A rash of graffiti in support of Ai, a harsh critic of the mainland Chinese government, has appeared on the streets of Hong Kong since his April 3 arrest in Beijing for unspecified “economic crimes”, which drew worldwide criticism.
