Topless Protesters Against 'Olympic Sharia Law' Arrested In London

On the 2nd of August, four women stripped off to the waist and protested against the Olympics outside Mayor Boris Johnson's City Hall  in London, revealing "Olympic shame" and "No Sharia" scrawled on their semi-naked bodies.

Cops were called to deal with the protesters, who had accused the Olympics' governing body of having supported  Islamist regimes who they claim have discriminated against women athletes.

Police arrested four women believed to be from Ukrainian campaign group, Femen.

A statement on the group's Facebook page claims the stunt was in protest against countries carrying out Sharia Law competing in the London 2012 games.

"Femen requires the states that apply the laws of sharia be shut out of the Olympic games, because of the inhumanity of these laws, which are in total contradiction with Olympic principles that are peace and philanthropy".
