Italian protesters whisked away by plainclothes cops at Sochi
17 February, 19:23
Wearing a rainbow-colored outfit to symbolize gay rights, Luxuria - a TV celebrity and former MP - had a ticket and Sochi Olympics pass. Along with Iene correspondents Pio D'Antini and Amedeo Grieco, she was loaded into an unmarked car in a nearby parking lot and driven away.
Le Iene is a satirical television program broadcast on the Italian channel Italia 1.
This marked the second time in two days that Luxuria was detained by police for protesting Russia's controversial laws against gay propaganda.
