feminist activist from the radical group Femen staged a topless protest at an Istanbul
airport Friday to denounce Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's religious conservatism. Wearing only mini-shorts and high heels, she performed her stunt inside Istanbul's Sabiha
Gokcen airport, on the Asian side of the bi-continental city. The woman, with the words "Air Dictator" painted in red on her chest, brandished a
banner representing a plane ticket that read "Erdogan, from: Istanbul to: Kabul". Police arrested her after the brief protest. Femen said in a statement it "urges the people of Turkey, like Egyptians, to overthrow
Erdogan's Islamist regime and force Erdogan to relocate to a country close to him in spirit
(such as) Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan." The group also urged the "lovely Turkish people" to press on with the unprecedented anti-
Erdogan protest movement that developed last month on Istanbul's Taksim square. The nationwide protests left four people dead and scores wounded. The perceived Islamisation of Turkish society during Erdogan's 10-year-old rule was one
of the demonstrators' main grievances.
