Topless 'Femen' protesters removed from St. Peter's Square

November 14, 2014

A small group of radical feminists staged an obscene demonstration in St. Peter's Square on November 14, in what they said was a protest against the scheduled appearance by Pope Francis before the European Parliament.

Four women from Femen-- the group known for topless public protests-- simulated a sexual act before they were removed from the Vatican square by Italian police.

Pope Francis is due to address the European Parliament on November 25.
