When the International Ice Hockey Federation chose Belarus to host the 2014 Hockey World Cup, it may not have expected to attract the ire of a legion of topless Ukrainian feminists.
FEMEN demonstrated topless in the freezing cold near the IIHF's main office in Zurich, Switzerland.
"Topless protests are probably the strongest and most effective form of peaceful and nonviolent protests to attract attention," Anna Hutsol, one of FEMEN's leaders told in a Radio interview.
This is not the first time that FEMEN has protested against the situation in Belarus. In December, three of its members were reportedly abducted by the Belarusian KGB, blindfolded, beaten, and left naked in a forest after protesting Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's rule.
