Human right activist pants fall down while receiving peace award from the president

Ivan Zvonimir Cicak, head of the Croatian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights was about to collect his award from Croatian president Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic when his trouser fell down.

The photograph of the iconic moment has since gone viral.

Luckily, Cicak's dignity was saved by the fact the president was holding the largee award in her hands, preventing anyone getting a glimpse of his underwear.

She did not appear to react and remained calm despite a brief glance downwards and a smile as he stooped to pull them back up.

The award was presented to Cicak and the committee in Zagreb for their work ahead of international Human Rights Day which is marked on December 10. Mirror UK reported.
