Four topless FEMEN members occupied a second-floor balcony of the residence of the Indian ambassador to Ukraine shouting “Ukraine is not a brothel!” and carrying signs which read “I am not a prostitute” and “We demand apologies”.
Police detained all four. The demonstration came in response to reports in Indian media that Indian consular sections in Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan had tightened visa application screening for women aged 15-40, to prevent the travel of sex workers to India.
