The administration of Facebook has deleted the account of
FEMEN International that had more than 80,000 subscribers.
"For the first time, the Facebook administration
accused FEMEN in 'propagation of pornography'; this time it didn't explain the
reason," the statement published on FEMEN's website says.
FEMEN's representatives think that the administration of
Facebook has decided to do this as a result of the growing popularity of
"the international movement against censorship of women's breasts on the
Internet."
"Women's nudity has always been considered as a symbol
of freedom and an encroachment upon it, is equal to the encroachment upon
rights and freedoms of a human," FEMEN says.
FEMEN is a Ukrainian feminism movement that has been in
existence since 2010. The movement's activists have repeatedly held topless
actions against sexism, homophobia, prostitution and religion. In August 2013,
it was announced that FEMEN stopped functioning in Ukraine.
The movement has gained notoriety not only in Ukraine, but
worldwide. At one time, it used to be a small movement, but then activists
extended the range of their activities. However, denudation in public still
remains the main form of the group's protests.
