Members of Femen protested semi-naked against detention of photojournalists in Georgia and in front of their Embassy in Ukraine.
The three photographers in Georgia were charged with spying last week: Irakli Gedenidze, the personal photographer of President Mikhail Saakashvili; Zurab Kurtsikidze of the European Press photo Agency; and Abdaladze, who has worked for the Georgian Foreign Ministry and freelanced for The Associated Press. .
Significant media attention was naturally , given to this event who recorded their members being kicked by a security guard. Georgian Embassy has now apologized and they have dismissed the guard who attacked photographers and Femen.
