FEMEN Activists Call on President Obama for Help Before Speech in Berlin

FEMEN activists called on President Barack Obama to aid the feminist group in their efforts to free four members who are currently being held in Tunisia before the United States leader spoke in Berlin on Wednesday.

Two female protesters-clad in usual FEMEN demonstration form: denim shorts, bare chests with slogans written on their skin-fought against riot police that struggled to pull them from the German capital's Tiergarten district, where President Obama spoke Wednesday afternoon.

In the past, FEMEN activists have scrawled such messages as, "Women's Spring is Coming" and "Choose the Fight" on their abdomens. One member named Amina Tyler, who is at the center of the recent FEMEN protests, was put in Tunisian jail for writing, "My body belongs to me and is not the source of anyone's honor," on her naked chest, then posting it on Facebook.

This time, the women of FEMEN have written a direct plea on their bodies: "Obama, Help!" was carefully painted in red on both the protester's chests during Wednesday's demonstration.

The self-proclaimed "sextremists" wrote on their Facebook page that they used President Obama's visit to Berlin to ask for his help in freeing Amina Tyler, Josephine Markmann, Pauline Hiller and Marguerite Stern from a Tunisian prison, where they were arrested for public indecency.

The two women tried to break through the President's motorcade, calling, "Obama, help!"

Police dressed in riot gear quickly pulled the screaming women away. They were arrested on site and taken to a nearby police station.

"FEMEN is addressing to the leader of world democracy U.S. President Barack Obama with a statement of gross violations of human rights in the Middle East and ask to promote the release of Tunisian prisoners of FEMEN," FEMEN representatives wrote on their Facebook page. "FEMEM continued their pressure on the international political elite with the requirement to tighten the dialogue with the Tunisian authorities to free the activists FEMEN, who are illegally held in Tunisian prisons."

President Obama has not yet commented on the protest staged outside of Brandenburg Gate, where he gave his speech to the German people.
