Three feminist activists from the radical protest group Femen staged a topless protest inside a Stockholm mosque on Saturday before they were led away by police.
The women burst into the mosque and tore off their black robes to bare their breasts, which were emblazoned with slogans such as No sharia in Egypt and the world and My body is mine, not somebodys honor.
The women shouted Free Women, No Sharia and No Oppression.
The mosque was largely empty at the time apart from a couple of employees and some members of the press who had been told of the planned protest in advance.
Mosque employees called police who removed the women from the scene. The women did not explain why they wanted to protest inside an empty mosque.
Theyre suspected of disorderly conduct and abuse, police commander Jonas Svalin told reporters, saying that the mosque employees had accused the women of shoving them.
The women were reportedly from Egypt, Tunisia and Sweden, although police were not immediately able to confirm their identities or nationalities.
Founded in Ukraine in 2008, Femen is a self-declared radical feminist group known for its topless protests against sexual exploitation of women, sexism and religious institutions.

(27,630 posts)On the one hand, it's the stupid honor killings that yes DO happen here in Sweden or wherever. Everyone knows that.
I would like to address "Agent Mike" personally: Hey, cutie! You already know what you gleaned about me from facebook.
What an adorable bastard! You listen to my calls but you don't ask me out on a date. Go get a fucking life and stop wasting taxpayers' money.
