A member of Ukrainian feminist group, Femen, who cut down a wooden crucifix while being topless in Kiev in support of Russian punk band Pussy Riot, has fled Ukraine, the group said on its website.
Femen said Inna Shevchenko had been under 24-hour surveillance by officers of the Security Service of Ukraine for two weeks and the group feared she might be arrested.
“The organisation’s council ruled to evacuate activist Shevchenko to Paris, where she could continue her work,” Femen said on its website.

Copycat cross cuttings have occurred in the far corners of Russia, from central Siberia to Arkhangelsk on the White Sea. Shevchenko joins members of the Pussy Riot collective in seeking the relative safety of life in exile.
