Femen calls on Turkish Revolutionaries to protest at Tunisian Consulate

[JI7]

Turkish revolutionaries! Taksim Square! Femen is calling for your help!

Femen has appealed to the Turkish revolutionaries with a request to protect their Tunisian prisoners Amina (18, from Tunisia), Josephine (19, Germany), Marguerite (23, France) and Pauline (27, France), who face sentences from one to six years in prison.

The movement Femen has urged all those who are fighting against Erdogan's Islamisation of Turkey to come to the embassy and consulate of Tunisia on 12 June at 12.00, demanding the immediate release of the girls. Let's say together to stranglers of democracy and freedom: "Free Amina!", "Free Femen!", "Free Turkey!", "Stop Islamisation!"

The Femen movement asks you not to remain indifferent to the plight of the female prisoners of the Tunisian state, who fearlessly fight against the threat presented by Islamisation to the rights of women in the East. Only uniting together we will prevent the Tunisian legal handling of Femen activists from turning into a "witch hunt." We call on you to support our demand to the Tunisian authorities to immediately release all Femen activists from prison and call an end to repression by civilian leaders!

2. that explains this

<Ukrainian activist troupe FEMEN erred in judgment before, but this is just strange. Here’s their latest topless antic on the streets of Kiev honoring the strength of the Japanese people in crisis. It involves a “Shake Boobs Not Earth” sign and said boobs resting on samurai swords. NSFW.

For an extra element of uncomfortable, here’s FEMEN’s action description, reluctantly translated:

FEMEN conducts an action in support of the Japanese people. “Praise those who defeat the dragon!” FEMEN are earnestly inspired by the Japanese people who were able to overcome this disaster. Their strength, their samurai self-control, their heroic actions in time of crisis should serve as examples for all of us. Japan has proved their ability to rise from the ashes before and we believe they will defeat the Dragon before the cherry blossoms bloom.

Right. This does not explain why they’re sitting in seppuku positions… among other whys, in light of the latest confirmed statistics: 4,255 dead and 8,194 missing.>
