The self-proclaimed culture minister of the Luhansk People's Republic in Ukraine has demanded the execution of a satirist who drew an unflattering cartoon that depicted her naked.

Irina Filatova took offense with the cartoon, drawn by artist Irena Karpa, that hinted at her fondness for topless photo shoots and accused her of handing out indiscriminate sexual favors, local news site Lugradar.net reported Tuesday, citing an unidentified police source.
