Naked Protesters & Nude Activists:

Public Nudity In The Public Interest

Lady Godiva On A Scooter

Here’s another graphic of our Patroness, Lady Godiva. Only this time, she’s upgraded the horse for a Vespa scooter:

Wrapped In The Flag

Another in the line of interesting not-naked protest pics that have been creeping onto this page ever since the beginning. Provocative self-bondage is a protest tradition that seems to share common philosophical ground with naked protesting, and is almost equally satisfying to the voyeuristic impulse. This photograph is from the protests surrounding the Republican Convention last year, as previously mentioned:

patriotic bondage

A great pose and an awesome picture, from BaseTree.

Indian Army Rape?

This picture (from this page dated August 2004) suggests much but explains little. Military units used against civilian populations (as “anti-terrorist” units generally are) are notorious for abuses, so one presumes that’s the story here:

The caption reads: “A group of Indian women shed their clothes and protest outside the Indian Army Assam Rifles anti-terrorism unit barracks in Imphal, Manipur.”

Lady Godiva Cover Art

Lest anyone forget Lady Godiva, the patroness saint of naked protesters, here’s a book cover with entertaining artwork:

Ride on!

Gagged Girls Sitting In

Looks like a sit-in, and these look more like protester gags than any sort of bondage game. Unfortunately this is one of those pictures that comes without any context:

Pretty girls with their mouths taped shut — what’s not to like?

Singing Nude Guys

This apparently has something to do with protest against the Austrian government:

Naked Cyclists Against Oil Companies

Here are some bicyclists in New Zealand who disapprove of oil companies and their customers:

Police ordered naked cyclists to get their gear back on in Auckland yesterday, after arresting their leader for alleged indecent exposure.

Even so, motorists were treated to a “21-bum” salute, equating to the number of scantily-clad but helmeted cyclists who rode from Symonds St to Karangahape Rd to protest against the world’s dependency on oil-fuelled transport.

Muddy Naked Protesters — OINK!

Here’s a picture taken from this report of the June 2003 anti-WTO protests:

naked protesters wallowing in mud like pigs

Caption: “Naked protesters in Sacramento don mud to appeal to the
gentler side of the police and those the police served at WTO.”

Getting Arrested

Not naked, not necessarily a protest, but Bondage Blog has a nice photo of a woman getting arrested by the riot police.

Nude In Ashland

I don’t know much about these protest photographs, except that they feature more and prettier public nudity than is usual for the genre. They come from here, are dated July 22, 2004, and include the limited explanation that the protest took place in “Ashland” (Oregon?) “against antigentalia law”. Anybody have more details, or more photos?

More New York Nudity

Here are some more and much better pictures from this event:

Yum!
