Topless ‘sextremist’ FEMEN protestor attacks piece of the Berlin wall with sledgehammer in front of German Embassy
The activist had "Break the Wall" written on her skin, a message which she kept shouting with every swing of the sledgehammer
THIS is the moment a topless feminist activist attacked a piece of the Berlin wall with a sledgehammer.
The protester, who is a member of the women's rights group FEMEN, staged the demonstration in front of the German Embassy in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
The protest was staged to coincide with the EU-Ukraine meeting held in Brussels, Belgium, with the activist seen swinging the huge hammer against a fragment of the Berlin wall which had been brought to Kiev after its collapse in 1989.
She also had "Break the Wall" written on her skin - a message which she kept shouting throughout the protest.
FEMEN confirmed that the protest was against the building of metaphorical walls "on Ukraine’s way towards its democratic future in Europe."
A statement read: "The sextremist broke a legendary symbol of the division between the world and its people.
"It is a protest against artificially-created obstacles towards a visa-free regime between Europe and Ukraine."
The video shows the protester strike the wall several times, however she did not cause any significant damage.
