Activists may escape prosecution over Mona Lisa soup attack
Paris (AFP) Jan 29, 2024
Two protesters who were arrested after hurling soup at Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa painting in Paris may escape prosecution and instead be ordered to make a donation, prosecutors said on Monday. The two women on Sunday flung pumpkin soup at the bullet-proof glass protecting da Vinci's most famous painting at the Louvre art museum, demanding the right to "healthy and sustainable food."
