A naked Russian artist nailed his own testicles to the ground in a
bizarre protest against his country's authoritarian regime. Self-styled
performance artist Pyotr Pavelnsky hammered a large metal nail through
his scrotum and
into the cobblestones in front of Moscow's Red Square as hundreds of
horrified tourists watched on.
Police eventually covered him up with a blanket before removing him from
the scene. He was taken to a clinic for treatment and placed under
arrest.
Pavelnsky has previously performed painful protests to highlight
political causes. In 2011 he sewed his lips together to highlight the
plight of the
jailed Pussy Riot group and he later wrapped his naked body in barbed
wire outside a government building in St Petersburg.
