Kiev: A
topless female protester attacked the trophy to be awarded at Euro
2012 and knocked it to the floor at an exhibition in the Ukrainian
capital Saturday.
The protester approached the Henri Delaunay trophy, on display in
the centre of Kiev, and knocked it over before displaying an
obscene slogan on her bare torso directed against the tournament.
She was detained by police.
The Femen group regularly stages topless protests, and said it
wanted to highlight how the Euro 2012 tournament would increase
prostitution in Ukraine.
"Femen is opposed to the hosting of Euro 2012 in Ukraine and
accuses UEFA of propaganda for sex tourism, of stimulating
sex-tourism in the cities where the Euro tournament will be held,
of debilitating the population and making it drunk," the group
said in a statement on Twitter.
Poland and Ukraine are co-hosts for the Euro 2012 tournament to be
held June 8-July 1.
