And finally… unholy trinity
Reading time: 1 minute
Three women who carried an enormous plastic vagina through Seville in Spain as part of a protest meant to mimic the Easter procession could be jailed after their actions were deemed a “religious hate crime”.
In May 2014 the trio paraded the plastic vagina, set atop a plinth in the style of the Virgin Mary, through the city’s streets.
The group called itself ‘Hermandad del Sagrado Coño Insumiso’ — the Brotherhood of the Blessed Rebellious Vagina.
Part of the national Workers’ Day march, the protest was meant to highlight issues of discrimination against women.
In the original ruling, the judge found the women had legitimately exercised their right of freedom of expression. However this was overturned on appeal after judge Luis Gonzaga de Oro-Pulido found their actions were making a mockery of the Easter parades using “rude and offensive slogans”.
The women could face 18 months in jail, although as first offenders they are likely to be given suspended sentences.
