PARIS —Topless Ukrainian feminists, Femen were taken off a roof by firemen hundreds of feet above a far right demonstration in central Paris this afternoon. Four women, including the groups leader, Inna Shevchenko occupied a balcony above a crowd of hundreds of members of extreme right wing groups to protest against neo-Nazism.
The women, appearing shirtless and in hotpants, joined hands above a huge red banner reading “Sextermination to Nazism” above Paris’ Place de Pyramids, by the Louvre. Far right groups had gathered to commemorate Joan of Arc, adopted as an iconic figure by extreme French nationalists.
The four women stood above the jeering crowd for roughly an hour while police attempted to reach them. Officers scaled the balcony of an adjacent hotel and began trying to pull in Femen’s banner, as well as calling to the women to come down. Around 1pm a fire engine arrived, and a ladder was extended up towards the women. Simultaneously, a fireman began to climb across to reach them.
