Topless women from the Femen feminist movement on Sunday urinated on photos of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in Paris to condemn a crackdown on protesters angry about his rejection of a key EU deal.
Five women from the group gathered in front of the Ukrainian embassy in the morning, bared their breasts and then took off their knickers to defile the photographs they placed on the sidewalk.
The slogan “Yanukovych piss off!” was painted on their torsos. They then left and there were no arrests.
The protest came after policemen armed with truncheons broke up a 1,000-strong protest in Kiev on Saturday calling for Yanukovych’s resignation after he suspended work on a trade and partnership agreement with the European Union that had been years in the making.
Dozens were wounded in the crackdown and more than 30 protesters were detained.
Despite a ban on protests in the heart of the Ukrainian capital, tens of thousands gathered again on Sunday to call for early elections.
