Four FEMEN activists have undressed at the Indian embassy in Kiev in protest against the country’s plan to block young Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakh women from entering India as part of a national anti-prostitution campaign.

The topless activists, partially clad in Indian clothes, used a ladder to climb the Indian embassy’s balcony and unfurled banners saying “Ukrainians are not prostitutes!”, “Delhi, close your brothels,” and “We demand apologies.”

The protesters waved Indian flags and knocked on the embassy’s doors and windows – until detained by security guards and taken away by the police.

The demo was sparked after the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered its embassies to take extra care checking visa applications from women aged 15-40, who are blamed for the country’s prostitution boom.

FEMEN’s blog says that by issuing such an order, India has gravely insulted the women of Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan.

“Indian prostitution is directly connected with impunity of the country’s criminal business,” the blog states. “Blaming it on women is a shame for the heirs of such a rich and old culture.”

The FEMEN movement made its name by carrying out politically-motivated naked protests at home in Ukraine and in countries throughout Europe, including the Vatican.

The activists regularly protest against such issues as the sexual exploitation of women, “patriarchal propaganda of sex inequality,” and restrictions on abortions. They also supported a sexual assault cases against former IMF head Dominique Strass-Kahn and former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi.

Not all of their demonstrations ended peacefully. In December 2011, three Ukrainian FEMEN activists protesting in Minsk against Belarus’ long-ruling president were kidnapped by Belarusian KGB officers. The protesters said the officers threatened them with knives, cut their hair and then left the women alone and naked in the woods.

On January 16, Ukraine’s Ministry of Justice refused to register FEMEN as an official political movement, claiming its position was extremist.

I respect the Ukraine and these brave ladies protests . Brazil suffered this fate in 1980´s , 1990´s and is still in pain due to the masters of drug dealing, prostitution exploitation, money laundering , here in Brazil the money went all to ZIONISTS at the end of the game . Is that what India wants for Ukrainian women ? Zionists love thgis industry which they rule and blame it on the mafia, to sound Italian . Let´s face it, Zionists hate Ukrainians . If not to mention anything which might blow the whistle on the eternal deceit by Zionists, when they are good, they are Jews, when they are bad, they are Russians,m Americans of Brazilian and Uklrainian prostitutes or Italian mafiosi . ZIONISM WANTS WAR OF ALL AGAINST ALL and it is clear as the Jewish monopoly of diamonds and prostitution , the money serves to blackmail indian politicians to work for Zionists in india, blackmailed in a trap of enslaved women from a country Zionists HATE, like the UKRAINE : they want a new HOLODOMOR , the Zionist international scum . They-ve done it to Brazil, now they are turning against all of humanity.

Being an Indian i will never support such a move, we should curb our own dealers working underground that t he root cause of problem, i am from delhi and i can tell you Eastern European w omen are available for any where b/w $50-$200 but that not in open being foreigners they are scared themselves , its all the dealers together with local police that is making this pros trade grow.on the other hand i would also say being away from home we as human beings take it for granted that whatever we do will never be known by loved ones so WTH which is also wrong.
