Updated:

On Friday morning in Geneva, activists from the Femen group, known for its provocative demonstrations, used a chainsaw to cut up the wooden sculpture known as the "Broken Chair". They were protesting against the UN's failure to act against Russia.

The "Broken Chair" artwork, outside the European headquarters of the United Nations (UN), symbolises the dismemberment caused by landmines and is a call for a ban on these devastating weapons, which have also been used in the war in Ukraine, to the extend that the country is now the most mined in the world.
