A law introduced in 2012 bans the import, production and sale of all synthetic lace undies in the Eurasian Union. And understandably enough, women of Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus aren't very happy with it.
The ban will outlaw any underwear containing less than 6% cotton from being imported, made, or sold in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
So, on Valentine's Day, some Kazakh women decided that enough was enough and that they were not going to take it lying down.
On Sunday Feb 16,2014, a group of women took out a protest in Almaty, Kazakhstan, waving their lace undergarments as part of a "Panties for the President" protest. One of them apparently said that her protest panties were the only pair she had been left with.
Apparently, three of the seven protesters were also arrested and taken away. The trio had apparently tried to place a pair of panties on a monument to Kazakhstan's independence.
