Photos: Brazilian Women Stage Topless Protest

A group of topless women protested on Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema beach to demand the right to go topless on Brazilian beaches, which is against the law in Brazil.

It is currently deemed an obscene act punishable by between three months and a year in prison.

The protest, in which seven women publicly exposed their breasts for several minutes, attracted a good number of curious passersby and journalists to the iconic Rio beach..
