Four topless activists from a women's rights group were arrested today after they carried out a protest in central London. Police were called to City Hall to deal with the protesters, who had accused the Olympics' governing body of having supported 'bloody' Islamist regimes. Pictures showed officers holding women on the ground and covering their chests.
It said: 'Femen requires the states that apply the laws of sharia be shut out of the Olympic games, because of the inhumanity of these laws, which are in total contradiction with Olympic principles that are peace and philanthropy. 'Femen accuses these states of simulating democratic changes regarding the position of women. 'With the support of the IOC, these Islamist governments use the participation of women in the Olympic games to hide thousands of victims and dead. 'If the IOC keeps flirting with radical Islam, new Olympic disciplines, such as stoning or speed raping will be added to the competition.'

Ukranian women, topless, to protest too much islamic influence in the Olympics?
Be right back, i need to run out and buy a lotto ticket, apparently this is my lucky day.
Apparently I agree with Feminists.
Dizzy again.
Oh, and judging from how she looks while being roughed up by two cops, NOT GUILTY.
Too bad the Daily Mail has covered up the “naughty bits” on their site—but from what I can see: NOT GUILTY!
"Just what the public wants: New faces!"
At least they are doing it for a good reason...Islamic sharia law HATES women! That’s the truth.
I’ll stand by them (the closer the better)
Sounds more like a freedom fighter than a Feminist.
Since when do “Feminists” give a crap about anything other than hating Conservatives and killing nascent life?
a.) Good for them.
b.) NOT GUILTY!!
She appears to be the cute one of the four, as you can see in the video on The Sun’s website.
How convenient. The Ukrainians chose the site of their “protest” where the consequences will not be very severe.
At least one feminist group has it right.
I knew this would be Femen when I read the title.
Yep, in more ways than one. I looked around and it appears they are non violent, have a sense of humor, address some very serious issues, and it appears they DO NOT have abortion and birth control at the top center of their agenda.
“Since when do “Feminists” give a crap about anything other than hating Conservatives and killing nascent life?”
Ukrainian “feminists” might define themselves very differently that ours do.
I would love to have the chance to support them.
