Naked Protesters & Nude Activists

There are some excellent nude photos (and video!) from the World Social Forum in Brazil in January of 2003. Indymedia has the story, which it characterizes as a nude protest against police brutality:

Police did what police do best when they violently attacked protesters and bystanders on the last day of the World Social Forum. It started when a Mapuche woman who was attending the WSF and staying at the international youth camp was arrested with charges of “obscene acts” for bathing nude in a river. Activists saw this and organized over 400 people to protest by nonviolently taking their clothes off in solidarity. When the nude protest left the youth camp to march downtown the police attacked. After injuring and arresting some of the the nude protesters the police lashed out at journalists and bystanders. An unknown number of people were hospitalized or arrested as a result of the police assault.

Here are some of the naked protesters:

That may have been a protest, but it also looks like one heck of a party.
