Russian Man nails his testicles to the ground in Protest

A Russian Self-styled performance artist Pyotr Pavlensky
was arrested after stripping naked and nailing his own testicles to a red square cobblestone in broad daylight and in full view of tourists at one of the world’s most visited landmarks.

He was taken to a clinic where he received treatment before being detained in a police station following the incident.  He said it was a protest against Russia’s ‘police state’ and the Kremlin's crackdown on political rights.
