Artist held for accusing Putin of shooting journalists

Artist Jan Egesborg, a member of a Danish political satirists group, was arrested by Vienna police while putting up posters ahead of a visit by Russia's president Vladimir Putin. He was released after all his materials had been confiscated. Egesborg's posters implied that Putin was shooting journalists. After his release he said: "This is crazy. I wouldn't expect this to happen in Austria." (Via EUX.TV & AP)
