From Cryptome:
Naked Israeli women pose for a photograph in Tel Aviv, November 19, 2011, to show solidarity with Egyptian blogger Aliaa Magda Elmahdy, who put naked pictures of herself on the Internet, support free expression and protest against Islamic extremism. The banner reads: “Love With No Boundaries”.
FEMEN took one of their protests to the chilly winter streets and rooftops of Moscow:

Way back in 2009, Facebook was already in hot water for prudishly censoring pictures of mothers feeding their children:
It’s Milky Boobs That Threaten The World’s Teens
Well, they’re still doing it. Only now, outraged breastfeeding mothers have taken their breasts even more public, staging public breast-feeding protest events in front of FaceBook offices around the world:
Breastfeeding Women Protest Outside Facebook Offices
She and other women have organized “nurse-ins” around the world, the goal of which is to have as many women as possible breastfeed outside their nearest Facebook office. The first protests were scheduled for today, but there are even more scheduled for later this week. At the time of writing, there were albums created for six cities where protests have already taken place: Menlo Park, Detroit, Toronto, New York, and Amsterdam, and Dallas.
There’s nobody we love (here at Naked Protesters) more than the beautiful, ferocious, and utterly fearless (not to mention, impervious to cold) ladies of FEMEN. Apparently they gave my man Fareed and his moneyed cronies one hell of a naked jeering at the international “gangster party” for billionaires in Davos, Switzerland the other day:
Crowd control fences are for peasants, they don’t even slow these ladies down! Don’t pay any mind to the police sniper on the rooftop at upper left, girls…
One thing a good naked protest can always be relied upon to do: piss off the cops. And this cop is definitely pissed off:
Sadly, angry police tend to get aggressive:
Thanks to Violet Blue for the tip about this protest. The actual pics come from FEMEN’s LiveJournal.
