Ukrainian women activists, who tore up the Indian flag in a topless act in Kiev last month to protest India's reported tightening of visa rules for young women from Ukraine, may land in jail.

Because nothing says “I am not a prostitute” like stripping to the waist.

the women had climbed up to the balcony of the Indian ambassador's residence in the Ukrainian capital, after stripping up to the waist. . . .

Ukraine your neck to look at them.

after stripping up to the waist braving sub-zero temperatures to lodge a novel protest.

As well as a navel protest.

I expect the Indian government is congratulating itself on having made the right decision.

Can you imagine living in a country that is so bad, that women travel to India to be prostitutes? Poverty-stricken India of all places? Ukraine is a third world hell hole, that just happens to be in Europe.

An American reporter who got injured in a scuffle with one of the protestors bemoaned: “That Ukraine girl really knocked me out, why’d I leave the West behind!”

re: “An American reporter who got injured in a scuffle with one of the protestors bemoaned: “That Ukraine girl really knocked me out, why’d I leave the West behind!”

Another reporter disagreed replying, “But Moscow girls make me sing and shout - but Georgia’s always on my mind mind mind mind mind mind - mind”

They can make their points better in cooler weather.

E.g., in Moscow last week to protest Gazprom. Temp was -22°C (-8°F).

As for their points, check 'em out at high resolution, courtesy of Cryptome.org. These girls get around. Cryptome also has recent photos from Zurich and Davos.

It hasn’t happened yet but then again the Germans of 1933 did not believe that this type of action or speech against their Fuehrer would land them in jail either; it did.
