The Clerical Whispers website reports today (November 9, 2011) that a young Ukrainian women's rights activist sneaked past security and partially stripped in front of St. Peter's Basilica last Sunday, just after the Pope's church service.
She brandished a black placard demanding "Freedom for Women" and then took her top off.
Italian police eventually subdued the topless activist, who was kicking and screaming as they dragged her away from the papal enclave under the bewildered gaze of the faithful and tourists.
She belongs to the Ukrainian women's rights group called "Femen" or "Topless Fighter," which campaigns against sexism, and whose topless tactics have attracted increasing public attention during the past three years.
