Dozens of people staged a topless protest in Canada today after three sisters were stopped by police for cycling shirtless.
The Bare With Us rally in Waterloo, Ontario, aimed to promote a woman's right to go shirtless.
The march was organised by musician Alysha Brilla after she and her sisters were stopped by a male police officer for cycling topless in the city of Kitchener on July 24.
The officer is alleged to have told the trio to cover up because they were breaking the law.
Today protesters waved banners and wore body paint with messages including "everyone has the right to NOT be harassed" and "Bare With Us! They're just boobs!"
Brilla has said she told the officer he was wrong. When she started filming the interaction on her phone, the officer is then alleged to have said he had only wanted to check if she and her sisters had proper bells and lights on their bicycles.
Ontario women have had the right to go topless in public since 1996.
A similar incident in June attracted media attention after an eight-year-old was told by city staff in Guelph, Ontario, to cover up while she was in a paddling pool wearing only bikini bottoms.
