Artist Presses China on Child Quake Victims

China today marked one year since the Sichuan earthquake that left nearly 90,000 people dead or missing. But the government has still not published results of an investigation, and parents whose children died in shoddily constructed schools have faced police intimidation. The parents have found an unlikely advocate, Time reports: Ai Weiwei, a star artist who has relentlessly pressed for information.

Ai is most famous for co-designing the Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing, but he has also blogged extensively about the quake. Last week, the government published an estimate that 5,335 children were killed, which was widely viewed as a victory for Ai’s uncommonly outspoken campaign. The artist thinks that figure is low, though, and vows to continue until “we find the last name, or I am dead.” (More China stories.)
