Three feminist activists from Femen, a radical protest group staged a topless protest inside a Stockholm mosque Saturday before the police led them away.
The women stormed the mosques and tore off their black robes showing their bare breasts on which were such slogans as “No sharia in Egypt and the world” and “My body is mine, not somebody’s honour”.
The women said to be from Egypt, Tunisia and Sweden shouted “Free Women”, “No Sharia” and “No Oppression”. Apart from some employees and a few members of the press who had been informed in advance of the planned protest, the mosque was largely empty.Continue to See more Pix...
The employees called the police who removed the women from the mosque. The three did not explain why they staged a protest in an empty mosque. The mosque employees accused the women of shoving them. Speaking to reporters, the Police Commander Jonas Svalin said, “They're suspected of disorderly conduct and abuse,”
Femen is a self declared “radical feminist” group founded in Ukraine in 2008. It is known for its topless protests against sexual exploitation of women, sexism and religious institutions.
