Polish woman rides nude through Krakow to protest taxes WARSAW, Poland, Jul 06, 2000 (AP WorldStream via COMTEX) -- A self-styled Polish Lady Godiva was arrested for public lewdness Thursday after she rode nude on horseback through Krakow's scenic Old Town district to protest high taxes. Three other people also were arrested for organizing an illegal demonstration at the tax office in central Krakow under the slogan "Lady Godiva is back," police spokesman Robert Szydlo said. The protest marked the seventh anniversary of the introduction of a value-added tax in Poland. The government currently is discussing broader use of the tax. According to English legend, the original Lady Godiva rode naked through the town of Coventry to persuade her husband, the earl of Mercia, to reduce heavy taxes.
