Topless activists target Berlusconi

A GROUP of half-naked women were dragged away by police yesterday when they protested against former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi as he voted in Italy's election.

The protesters, from the Ukrainian women's rights group Femen, shouted "Basta (Enough) Berlusconi", as the media tycoon was voting in a polling station in a Milan school.

They were topless and the same words were painted on their bodies. Police quickly grabbed the women and bundled them away.
