KIEV, Aug. 27 - Ukrainian topless feminist group Femen accused the police of planting explosives and a gun during a raid on their headquarters in Kiev headquarters on Tuesday in a bid to close their organization down.

The Femen group specializes in shock bare-breast appearances to dramatize women's rights causes, mainly in the male-dominated hierarchies of Russia and its former Soviet allies.

Russia's Vladimir Putin has particularly been a target for Femen's protests since the prosecution of the Russian female punk group Pussy Riot last year.
