Ukrainian Women Drive Naked Outside Saudi Embassy to Protest the Saudi Driving Ban

Since 2008, Ukrainian organization "Femen" has held epatage protests against corrupt government officials, unfair bills, and even Saudi law banning women from driving. Today's protest against Ukrainian members of parliament is too--how can we put it--straightforward and we choose to not show it on Russia Blog (though you can see it here), and below is the photo from the June 16 protest held outside of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia to Ukraine. The protests tend to be extremely successful, as they attract general public's and media attention, and frazzle predominantly male law enforcement officials.
