Vatican Frees Activist Who Stole Baby Jesus Statue While Topless

Source: Time

The Vatican has released a Ukrainian activist who stole a replica of baby Jesus from St. Peter’s Square Nativity scene while topless on Christmas day.

Iana Zhdanova was freed Saturday after being seen by a Vatican prosecutor, according to the Associated Press. She has been ordered never to set foot in Vatican City or on any Vatican property outside of the city-state again.

Zhdanova reportedly had the words “God is a Woman” written on her chest when she snatched the statue from St. Peter’s Square. Vatican police swiftly arrested Zhdanova, who is a member of the feminist group FEMEN.

According to FEMEN’s website, her protest was a part of their “Massacre of the Innocents” anticlerical campaign, which criticizes “the senturies-old Vatican stance on women’s rights for own body and reproductive function.”

Zhdanova totally rocks. She's the one that destroyed the Putin wax figure also.

She's pretty. All she had to do was walk around topless in front of all those tourists. Or she could have flashed the Pope.

USA police would take off the weighted black leather police gloves before they grabbed her, just like the Vatican Batman did!
