A young woman was arrested yesterday for using only one part of her two- part bikini. Brazilians are famous for their love of the beach, and wear very small bikinis but topless sunbathing is still not allowed. Police used to have a ‘look the other way’ policy but local authorities have begun to enforce the controversial law which forbids nudity. The woman was unrepentant after her arrest: “This is Brazil – not England, not the US. We believe in freedom and we believe in the right to show our bodies. This is absolutely ridiculous.”
