FEMEN Protests Turkey’s Local Elections

FEMEN, a sextivist organization, protested Turkey’s local election

The members of FEMEN stripped their tops in a school in Üsküdar (a conservative district of İstanbul) and shouted slogans on the table covered with voting cards.

Police detained two activists in the polling station. 

It turned out the polling station subjected to FEMEN protest was where PM Recep Tayyip Erdoğan would cast his vote in İstanbul.

FEMEN Turkey released the following statement via twitter: 

"FEMEN activists stormed the voting papers where PM Erdoğan would cast his vote.”

Previously, FEMEN Turkey protested against the twitter ban in Turkey with a FEMEN activist sharing her bare-breast photo with "#DNS" and "#DirenTwitter” (ResistTwitter) and DNS numbers written on it. (EA/BD)
