French police reportedly arrested two topless women after they ran at President Donald Trump’s motorcade along the Champs d’Elysees on Sunday. This incident took place shortly before the president was scheduled to take part in an Armistice Day ceremony commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, as part of his trip to France.
The international feminist organization Femen took responsibility for the incident, which marked the latest instance in which the group initiated protests against Donald Trump, as noted by the Hill. The publication wrote that Femen members were also photographed in Paris over the weekend, as other protesters similarly wrote the words “Fake peacemakers, real dictators” on their chest and carried signs reading “Welcome, war criminals” that were aimed at some of the world leaders taking part in the Armistice Day ceremonies.

Following the incident, Femen leader Inna Shevchenko took to Twitter to post a video of the protests and comment on how Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip, and other world leaders turned the Armistice Day celebration into a “sad spectacle” that only entertains the “criminals participating in it.”
