Homeless duo's graphic protest
From correspondents in Stockholm
02Mar04
A HOMELESS couple protesting a lack of housing in Stockholm placed a bed in the middle of a downtown square and had sex in front of numerous spectators, police said today.
The demonstration took place yesterday, and was the culmination of a week-long campaign by a group of Swedish homeless people demanding adequate shelter from the winter chill.
"They had a sign saying 'Even homeless people want to have sex', and then they did," police spokeswoman Carolin Karlsson told AFP. "They even had a dog at the foot of the bed."
For 90 minutes the couple had sex under the covers, before police, summoned by multiple calls from offended onlookers, broke up the party.
Many families with young children were especially offended, while a number of spectators took the opportunity to take pictures of the lovemaking with their cellphone cameras, according to Swedish media at the scene.
Media also reported that the couple's fornication continued even after they had been taken into police custody in the back of a police van.
Police did not, according to Karlsson, arrest the couple, but simply drove them to a social centre for urgent cases where they could spend the night - away from public scrutiny. |
