Polish artist convicted of blasphemy

A Polish artist has been found guilty of blasphemy by a court, writes the newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza. To the newspaper's knowledge, it has never happened before that an artist was convicted of violating religious emotions. What Danuta Nieznalska had done, and which upset the court in Gdansk, was to have depicted a male limb nailed to a cross. In addition to a fine she was sentenced to six months of travel prohibition. The artist is upset and says that the judge has admitted to not understanding art.

Sorry this doesn't say much - I tried to find more information about this online, but my search didn't come up with anything. Can anybody else find something more? Or translate it from a Polish newspaper (if it's there)?

Oh, and, I wonder if the EU is going to make a comment on this. [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]
