The five protesters were the subject of many photographs by passers-by as the showed off their bottoms and protest signs, outside the Hunan Provincial Higher People's Court in Hunan, south west China.
The men were reportedly part of a group of 10 hired by Li Tianming, a man who was involved in a court case over a utilities development dispute, according to Shanghaiist. Continue...
Their protest went on for around 20 minutes until police came out from the court, asked them to dress and then arrested them.
The case was initially won by Tianming at the Yongzhou Intermediate People's Court but the utilities company appealed at the Hunan Provincial Higher People's court and a retrial was scheduled.
The eventual judge's decision, to overturn the earlier ruling, angered Tianming so much that he apparently launched more legal challenges, but to no avail.
He hired the men to protest naked in a bid to garner attention for his cause.
The protesters will be detained for 15 to 20 days while the an investigation is carried out.
