The women burst into the mosque and tore off their black robes to bare their br**sts, which were emblazoned with slogans such as “No sharia in Egypt and the world” and “My body is mine, not somebody’s honour”.
The women shouted “Free Women”, “No Sharia” and “No Oppression”.
The mosque was largely empty at the time apart from a couple of employees and some members of the press who had been told of the planned protest in advance.
Mosque employees called police who removed the women from the scene. The women did not explain why they wanted to protest inside an empty mosque.
The women were reportedly from Egypt, Tunisia and Sweden, although police were not immediately able to confirm their identities or nationalities.
Founded in Ukraine in 2008, Femen is a self-declared “radical feminist” group known for its unclad protests against s*xual exploitation of women, sexism and religious institutions.
