Chinese artist and activist, Ai Weiwei, is back at home after spending almost <br />three months in prison.<br /><br />The human rights campaigner was released on bail on Wednesday. <br /><br />Beiing police said the artist was release for his '"good attitude" in <br />"confessing" to tax evasions. <br /><br />However, his supporters disagree saying that both his imprisonment and <br />release were "political" moves. <br /><br />Ai Weiwei is not allowed to comment on his detention or leave home without <br />permission. <br /><br />"I can't give any interviews because of the situation that I am in, please understand that," he told reporters. <br /><br />His supporters say that he has been "silenced". <br /><br />Al Jazeera's Andrew Thomas reports from Beijing.
