袭击名画《戴珍珠耳环的少女》后，两位激进环保人士被判刑了……
A Dutch court sent two Belgian climate change activists to prison Wednesday for a protest targeting Johannes Vermeer's painting Girl with a Pearl Earring. The demonstrators, who are part of the campaign group Just Stop Oil Belgium, were each given sentences of two months, one of which was suspended.
The one-minute video clip of the action shows a man coming close to the painting and gluing his head to it. At the same time, another man adheres his hand to the wall next to the artwork and pours a red substance on the first man's head and body.
"How do you feel when you see something beautiful and priceless being apparently destroyed before your eyes?" the protester said. "Do you feel outraged? Good. Where is that feeling when you see the planet being destroyed before your very eyes?"
"This painting is protected by glass, it's just fine," the protester continued. "Vulnerable people in the Global South, they are not protected. The future of our children is not protected."
The two men went to trial through a fast-track judgment on charges of destruction and open violence against the painting. The third activist, who did not agree with the trial being fast-tracked, will appear in court on Friday. Prosecutors said all three are "jointly responsible" for the act, Reuters said.
The ruling follows a string of anti-fossil-fuel demonstrations targeting art galleries, car showrooms and company headquarters in recent weeks. Two Just Stop Oil protesters have meanwhile been charged with criminal damage offenses in the UK after they threw tomato soup on Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers.
