Two protesters from the women’s rights group FEMEN — whose claim to fame is topless protesting — were arrested Saturday night after disrupting a conference held near Paris on the role of women in Islam.
According to reports, the half-naked feminists jumped up on stage and grabbed the microphone while the panelists were discussing “whether wives should be beaten or not”:

Je suis topless feminists? Or maybe that’s a bit too much…
