Angry Protester Nails His TESTICLES To The Ground (photo AND video)

An angry protester on Sunday nailed his scrotum to the ground in a painful act of protest.

Pyotr Pavlensky said the protest was his response to Russia's descent into a "police state" and was timed to coincide with Police Day, which Russia's law enforcement officials celebrated on Sunday.

Pavlensky has a history of self-harming art, including sewing his lips together to protest against the jail sentences given to members of Pussy Riot and wrapping himself in barbed wire outside a Russian government building, which he said symbolised "the existence of a person inside a repressive legal system".
Pavlensky is due to appear before a district court in Moscow on Monday over the stunt and could be jailed for up to 15 days.
