Russian Man Nails Own Testicles In Protest Against Crackdown On Political Rights by free2ryhme: 1:00pm On Nov 11, 2013 |
Russian performance artist was hospitalised Sunday after stripping unclad and nailing his testicles to a Red Square cobblestone in protest against the Kremlin’s crackdown on political rights. A video of the graphic action, available on Russian websites, showed artist Pyotr Pavlensky sitting unclad outside Lenin’s Mausoleum being covered with a blanket by police officers while horrified passersby looked on. The state-run RIA Novosti news agency said Pavlensky was taken to a police station after being treated in a central Moscow clinic. The Saint Petersburg-based artist said in a statement posted on the Grani.ru website that he was trying to draw attention to Russian society’s inaction in the face of the development of a “police state”. Russia marked its annual Police Day holiday on Sunday. It is not the first time the 29-year-old has resorted to eye-watering methods of protest. He has previously sown his lips together to demonstrate against the jailing of two female members of the p*ssy Riot punk band who staged an anti-Kremlin performance inside Moscow’s main cathedral in 2011. He was also arrested after wrapping his unclad body in barbed wire outside a Saint Petersburg government building in May. http://www.informationng.com/2013/11/russian-man-nails-own-testicles-in-protest-against-crackdown-on-political-rights.html |
