The organizers of the controversial Forbidden Art-2006 exhibition in Moscow have appealed the court verdict which found them guilty of inciting national and religious hatred, a defense lawyer said.
The Forbidden Art 2006 exhibition, held at Moscow's Andrei Sakharov Community Center, displayed artwork that had been barred from Moscow's mainstream museums and galleries. Many of the exhibits featured blasphemous images of Jesus Christ. In one, he had a Mickey Mouse head and in another his head had been replaced by an Order of Lenin medal.
