Femen, Topless Women's Rights Group, Clashes With Georgian Embassy's Security Guard In Kiev

First Posted: 07/19/11 06:48 PM ET   Updated: 09/18/11 06:12 AM ET

A topless demonstration in Ukraine got ugly outside the Georgian embassy when a security guard fought with half-naked women on Monday.

The shirtless ladies from the women's activist group FEMEN were part of a larger protest in Kiev criticizing the Georgian government for jailing three photographers accused of spying, the Guardian reported.

A security guard shoved FEMEN members and kicked a photographer taking their picture before a policemen separated them, as seen in a video posted on Animal New York.

It was a busy week for the women of FEMEN who just can't seem to keep their shirts on. Last week, the group splashed around in a Kiev fountain to draw attention to expected hot-water shortages during the Euro 2012 soccer tournament which will be held in Ukraine and Poland.

The only good/bad thing about naked protests is that the people are naked. Outside of that, it's just another group of people pushing their beliefs/agenda.

A cop is a cop. The word cop is just another word for violent criminal. The arrested women were at best sexually abused and at worst raped. Go ahead and delete this one too. I realize that Ukraine is not used to freedom of speach.

Um did they really decide after some kind of meeting that running around topless would make someone take them seriously? Are they protesting for animal rights or is this some kind of lady gaga stunt?

Hooray that these people are speaking out with their bodies for issues that are just and right. Being naked in public is one of the few ways of getting publicity without major financial cost.
These are patriots.

Protest, or just a bunch of kooks looking for an excuse to run around naked?
