Argentinian women are going semi-nude in a protest for the right to sunbathe topless.
Police, as seen in a heated exchange captured on film involving dozens of people, asked three young women lying on a southern Buenos Aires beach to put their shirts back on.
Dozens of topless women and hundreds of fully-clothed people, in a demonstration that was copied elsewhere in the country, have been protesting at the Buenos Aires’ Obelisk monument this week.
It remains unclear what, if any, the law is surrounding nudity on the South American country’s beaches.
Police during the January incident cited a criminal code article prohibiting "obscene displays", but at least one judge has since said going topless is not a crime.
