Topless Ukranian feminists storm Swiss economic forum

Three topless Ukrainian protesters were detained today as they bid to break into an invitation-only gathering of CEOs and political leaders to call attention to the needs of the world's poor.

With temperatures around freezing in the snow-filled town, they took off their tops and tried to climb a fence before being detained.

After a complicated journey to reach the heavily guarded Swiss resort town of Davos, the Ukrainians arrived at the entrance to the complex where the World Economic Forum takes place every year.

'Crisis! Made in Davos,' read one message painted across a protester's torso, while others held banners that said 'Poor, because of you' and 'Gangsters party in Davos.'

Davos police spokesman Thomas Hobi said the three women were taken to the police station and told that they weren't allowed to demonstrate.
