VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican has arrested the Femen
activist who on Christmas Day bared her chest and snatched the statue of
Baby Jesus in the life-size Nativity scene in the center of St. Peter's
Square, a spokesman said Friday, emphasizing that the protest insulted
the faithful gathered to celebrate Christmas.
Ukrainian
activist Yana Zhdanova was being held for questioning, with possible
charges including carrying out obscene acts in public, insults and
theft.
A topless Zhdanova grabbed the Baby
Jesus statue about an hour after the pope offered his Christmas blessing
Thursday. A Vatican guard immediately covered her with his cape and
detained her, while Zhdanova, still clutching the figure, shouted "God
is woman."
Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico
Lombardi noted that the incident was being taken seriously both because
of the location and the solemnity of the event on which it intruded,
saying it aimed to "intentionally offend the religious feelings" of
numerous people.
He noted that three members
of the Femen activist group had previously targeted the Vatican with
another protest last month, baring their breasts, as is the Femen
hallmark, in St. Peter's Square to protest the pope's visit to the
European Parliament.
`'It is therefore correct
to proceed with the appropriate rigor against repeated acts that
intentionally, repeatedly and severely infringe on the right of the
faithful to the respect of their legitimate religious convictions,"
Lombardi said in a statement.
The Nativity
scene incident was the latest in a series of protests by the Ukrainian
women's rights movement Femen aimed at the Vatican in recent years,
alternatively demanding rights for women and gays, and protesting in
favor of abortion. This is the first time any of the activists have been
arrested by the Vatican.
