Nudist campaigner in court naked

LONDON (Reuters): A British nudist campaigner appeared in
court for his trial with nothing on, court officials said.

Vincent Bethell, from Coventry in central England, is charged
with causing public disorder by refusing to wear clothes in
public places on several occasions last August.

He was ordered by the judge to remain seated in the dock
during the trial at London's Southwark Crown Court, affording the
jury no more than a glimpse of his body, media reports said.

A supporter of the "Freedom to be Yourself Campaign", the 28-
year-old former art student has said he wants nonsexual public
nudity to be legalized in Britain.
