Police officers of Puerto Rico detained this morning the young artist Johan Figueroa, who painted full of white interpreted a statue in the Plaza de Armas of El Viejo San Juan in the beginning of the celebration of the famous San Sebastian Street Festivities.
As he explained earlier this year in an interview with the newspaper INDEX, there is a municipal ordinance that prohibits what the young man was doing at the source of the aforementioned plaza.
"They came to remove me because according to a municipal ordinance could not be inside the source and for the effects of them being on the source is to be inside. But I armed myself, mutinied and went with a group of people to the Protocol Office and demanded to stay, "he said earlier this year.
On that occasion he said that he had come to an agreement with the mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulín Cruz to make his performance in the Plaza.
Figueroa is not a rookie, it is not his first time as a statue. In his work as a stage artist he has spent seven years visiting the Plaza, sculpting himself.
Images of the time of the arrest were uploaded to the social network Facebook.
