A China-born Australian artist and former protester in China's 1989 pro-democracy movement has been taken away by Chinese authorities, Australia's Fairfax Media said on Monday.

The detention of Guo Jian is the latest in a string of detentions of lawyers, artists, scholars and journalists ahead of the 25th anniversary of the military clampdown on the pro-democracy student movement centred around Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
