RU-FEMEN activists protesting against war in Libya (Image from femen-rus.livejournal.coml)
Half-naked girls descended on the European Commission in Moscow to
protest against the war in Libya. They brought mattresses with Gaddafi
portraits, claiming the European leaders started the war because they
do not sleep well.
Wednesday’s action saw one of the three girls that had taken off their
shirts in front of the Commission building, detained by police.
The slogans of the protest were: "Make Love, not War!", “Send to sleep
the spirit of war!” and “Mattress and breasts – forget about war”.
The girls say they wanted to attract attention “
to the recent events in Libya, where three mighty superpowers fight against a small defenseless state”.
They claim that the operation began because EU leaders sleep on “
awful, old mattresses”.
“
With such an approach, they constantly do not get enough sleep, have health problems and thus are mad at the whole world.”
Therefore, the activists took along comfortable mattresses for the
British and French leaders with a portrait of Colonel Gaddafi and their
slogans on them.
