Topless FEMEN activists have been media darlings due to their methods of protest. According to FEMEN, topless protests are probably the strongest and most effective form of peaceful and nonviolent protests to attract attention.
A group of Ukrainian topless protesters are now facing jail term up to four years for climbing onto the balcony of the Indian embassy in Kiev and tearing down India's national flag. The activists staged a second attack on the Euro 2012 soccer trophy on Monday, grabbing it while it was on public display in the southeast of Ukraine before being seized themselves by police.
The protest was provoked by the Indian Foreign Ministry’s orders to make visa verifications stricter for Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh and Kyrgyzstani women aged between 18 and 40 years. More than a lakh tourists from the Soviet region are estimated to visit India every year, and many of them are alleged to perpetrate sex tourism and prostitution.
