FEMEN activists this morning staged a bare-chested protest in Berlin ahead of a planned speech in the city by Barack Obama.Two women dressed only in denim hotpants struggled with riot police in the German capital's Tiergarten district, near to where the President will speak this afternoon. Across their breasts and bellies was written the slogan: 'Obama help.'
In a statement emailed to the MailOnline, FEMEN explained that the protest was a call for Obama to intervene to free activists held in Tunisia and help advance the emancipation of women in the Middle East. 'FEMEN appeal to the leader of world democracy the president of USA Barack Obama about the violation of human rights in the Middle East and ask to contribute to the release of Tunisian prisoners of FEMEN,' it said. 'Obama help FEMEN!'Pictures showed the two German activists struggling with heavily armoured riot police officers near the Brandenburg Gate, where Obama will appear this afternoon.
