Director acquitted for masturbation video (prude alert)

Director acquitted for masturbation video

A GREEK court has acquitted the director of an art show on charges of obscenity and an attack on national symbols, citing freedom of expression.

A video showing a woman masturbating to the Greek national anthem by Greek-American Eva Stefani was displayed at the Art Athina contemporary art show in Athens last June.

After a visitor reported the video to police, Art Athina director Michalis Argyros was arrested and charged.

He spent the night behind bars, provoking an outcry from local artists, who mobilised to defend him.

At his trial yesterday, the court ruled against the prosecutor, who had argued the video made no sense and that "Nudity is a work of art only in Renaissance paintings", the Eleftherotypia newspaper reported.
