Ai Weiwei accepts Berlin lecturer rol
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-14137172

Chinese artist and government critic Ai Weiwei has accepted an offer to join the Berlin University of the Arts as a visiting lecturer, it has said.

The university said it was unclear when he would begin the role because of legal problems in China following his release from three months in detention.

On Thursday, his design firm will challenge a bill of more than 12m yuan (£1.2m) in unpaid taxes and fines.

His family insists he is being targeted for his political activism.
