LONDON (Reuters)
: Five men were arrested after staging
a nude demonstration outside
Buckingham Palace, British police
said.
The five were part of a group of about twenty men from an
organization called The Right To be Naked, a police spokesman
told Reuters.
Four were later released. The fifth man, who had climbed naked
onto a statue of Queen Victoria outside the palace, was still
being held, the spokesman said.
"There were about twenty men undressing in groups of five in a kind
of shift system," he said.
A palace spokeswoman said she did not know whether Queen
Elizabeth was in residence at the time of the
demonstration.
"There are just working rooms on the front bit of the palace so
I would doubt that anyone saw anything even if they were there,"
the spokeswoman said.
