Russian activist sets fire to FSB Lubyanka door

MOSCOW: -- A Russian artist and political activist has been arrested after setting fire to the Moscow headquarters of the country's security service, the FSB.


Pyotr Pavlensky set the door of the Lubyanka building alight and was pictured standing in front of the blaze holding a petrol can.

Mr Pavlensky was arrested in 2013 after he nailed his scrotum to the floor of Moscow's Red Square in protest.

The Lubyanka building is the historical home of Russia's security services.

Did no one at the "security service" notice what he was up to before he struck the match or while the media were capturing it all on video?

Mr Pavlensky has been questioned on suspicion of vandalism

Suspicion? Inspector Clouseau lives on.
