Ukrainian Femen activists are intending to stage another protest in Belarus.
The feminist activists said that they do not regret holding a protest in Belarus despite of the fact that they allegedly suffered from humiliation, violence and intimidation by "employees of the Belarusian [State Security Committee] KGB."
The Femen activists addressed the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine in connection with the situation. They will submit an official statement on Dec. 22.
"We demand to fire the ambassador [of Belarus to Ukraine], investigate into [actions of] the KGB employees, who humiliated us," one of Femen activists, Inna Shevchenko, said.
It was reported earlier that three Ukrainian women, who are members of the Femen movement, staged a topless protest on the stairs of the KGB building in Minsk on Dec. 19 on the anniversary of a crackdown on the last year demonstrations in the capital.
One of the three missing female activists, Inna Shevchenko, managed to contact Femen, the organization said in a press release posted on LiveJournal. According to Shevchenko, Belarusian law enforcement officers threatened the female movement activists and even cut their hair off.
Everything that happened was filmed by law enforcement officers on a video camera, Femen said. "Then they [the activists] were dumped naked in the forest without documents," the female movement said.
Chairman of the Belarusian State Security Committee (KGB) Vadim Zaitsev called "a crude provocation" the incident. The KGB officers played no part in the Femen activists being found in the Yelsk district in the Gomel region with no money and documents and being beaten, he said.
