EUROVISION stage invader Dr ACactivism has claimed he was “beaten without mercy for ten minutes” after grabbing SuRie’s microphone in a mindless prank on Saturday night.
In a statement to The Sun Online, the protester complained about his treatment and confirmed he’d only recently been released from police custody.

The prankster, who calls himself Dr ACactivism, says he “demands the right of participation, the right of being heard, and the freedom of ideas”.
But his senseless act on Saturday night left SuRie shaken and bruised when he ran on stage and barged into her.
He was dragged away from the singer – who came 24th in the competition – by security guards and arrested.
Speaking to The Sun Online he said in a statement: “I was beaten for ten minutes without any mercy at all”.

He did not verify who he alleged to have attacked him but ranted that he was “pushed to death”.
His statement also claimed he had been denied the “right to participation in modern history”.
Bizarrely, Dr ACactivism, ended by telling us he was “already dead. Murdered in the backstage.”
The Sun Online has contacted the BBC regarding the statement.

It wasn't the first time Dr ACactivism has been involved in a senseless stunt. He previously stormed on to stage during the National Television Awards.
He did the same during the final of The Voice last year and claimed security guards almost broke his neck.
Yesterday SuRie spoke out about the terrifying incident and said she had been left with bad bruising.
Speaking on This Morning, she explained: “There are a couple of bruises from where he grabbed the microphone but I am OK.
“And my shoulder where he came in.”
