Topless Protest in the Strasbourg Cathedral against Visit of Pope in the European Parliament

Country: France

Date of incident: November 25, 2014


An activist of the feminist group “Femen” climbed the altar in Strasbourg's cathedral topless and waved the EU flag. The words “Anti-Secular Europe,” were written across her breasts, and “The Pope is Not a Politician” on her back.

The pope had been invited to give a speech in the European Parliament by Martin Schulz, the president of the European Parliament. According to the French law, the Femen activist could face blasphemy charges. Source:
