MOSCOW: The Ukrainian women activists, who tore up the Indian flag in a topless act in Kiev last month to protest India's reported tightening of visa rules for young women from Ukraine, may land in jail for up to four years.
Carrying placards that read "Ukraine is not brothel" and "I am not prostitute", the women had climbed up to the balcony of the Indian ambassador's residence in the Ukrainian capital, after stripping up to the waist braving sub-zero temperatures to lodge a novel protest.
They were enraged over the Indian Foreign Ministry's reported instructions to carry out detailed checks of all Ukrainian women aged 15 to 40 seeking Indian travel visa.
An Indian media report had said that the move by New Delhi was aimed at checking the growing prostitute rackets involving women from Central Asian nations.
Russian news agency 'RIA Novosti' said, "In a first, Ukrainian topless protesters 'Femen' face a criminal case in their home country, though not over their practice of stripping in public for a good cause."
The protesters tore down the Indian flag, beat it about doors and windows and threw it on the ground. Despite temperatures of minus 4 degrees Celsius, all of them were topless.
The incident resulted in two cases opened on separate charges of hooliganism and desecration of state symbols, Ukrainian police said. No one was charged as of last evening.
Femen, media darlings due to their methods of protests, have been active since 2008, staging political protests in Ukraine and outside the country. The group declared freedom of speech and protection of women's rights as its goals.
Group members never faced criminal cases before, getting away with fines or brief arrests.
Apple, the California based computer and mobile equipment manufacturer, reportedly is working on a smaller version of its iPad tablet. The smaller tablet apparently will not be similar to any other tablets in the market and will feature an 8 inch display.
Wall Street Journal got the information from several of the hardware suppliers who supply components to Apple. According to the suppliers, the resolution of the new iPad will be similar to the one featured on the iPad 2 that comes with a 9.7 inch display.
The report, however, does not reveal much about the hardware configuration of the device. With theiPad 3 expected to be revealed during the upcoming Mobile World Congress, it is highly anticipated that this smaller variant will also feature a faster processor better than the one on the iPad 2 and fourth generation mobile network connectivity options as well.
With a smaller iPad, Apple will surely take on a bigger chunk of competition which presently is being ruled by 7 inch tablets and even the smaller 5.3 inch screen sized ones like the Samsung Galaxy Note.
But even though the suppliers hint towards the making of a new tablet there is a possibility that this product might also not reach its approval stage as Apple keeps on experimenting with various devices and features which are also scrapped if not found feasible. But hopes are high as the Mobile World Congress approaches and more light on this matter will be shed on this topic as well.

Finally, in the 1940s Rudolf left the business and started his own across the river. Adolf renamed the original shoe shop Adidas and Rudolf established Puma.
