Title: Protester Puts Masks on Warrior Statues
Post by: Foxy Brown on October 16, 2007, 05:56:21 PM

A man hopped over a security barrier in the British Museum on Monday and tied surgical masks to the faces of two Chinese terra-cotta warriors in a protest against China's pollution problems.

Security guards stopped the man and escorted him away after alarms sounded, museum spokeswoman Hannah Boulton said. The man was not arrested and the statues were not damaged, she said. (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jS5xpRXqGYVxW3oXfZYs6el5xARgD8S9PV181)

Protesting is one thing, but all too often such groups can tend to cross the line.
At least the statues weren't damaged in anyway.
