Spanish women charged with religious offence after they carried a plastic vagina though a city to protest homophobia

By

Three feminist protesters have found themselves in trouble with the law after they marched through the Spanish city of Seville carrying a huge plastic vagina during a workers' demonstration in May 2014 to protest against homophobia. They could be hit with jail time after the protest was deemed a religious hate crime.


The women are accused of offending 'religious sentiments'. Acts which offend ‘the sentiments of members of a religious group’ carry a fine - meaning the women could be jailed for eight to 12 months.


During the procession, they carried rosary beads and wore face veils worn by devout Catholic women during religious celebrations.
Hailed as the 'Santísimo Coño Insumiso', or the 'Blessed Rebellious Vagina', they reportedly were protesting against homophobia.

This week the Spanish high court overturned a previous ruling that the trio had legitimately used freedom of expression - and branded the march ‘an offence against the Virgin Mary’.
The women were protesting during a march organised by the Spanish union the General Workers' Confederation (CGT).

The way phones can be used as TV remotes can be broadly split into two categories: ones that use an infrared (IR) blaster, and apps that can be used to control hardware like Rokus and Chromecasts. In this piece, we take a look at both types. Phones With a Built-In IR Blaster It seems IR blasters in Android devices are in decline. Only 12 months ago we saw a whole host of flagship phones come equipped with the technology, but manufacturers seem to be leaving the tech behind in their more recent releases. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, and S6 Active all had one, as did the LG G4, the HTC One M9, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
