Three topless Femen activists protested in front of the German Federal Chancellery on Friday, pleading to Chancellor Angela Merkel to push for the release of four fellow protesters jailed in Tunisia.
The demonstrators were dragged away by police and taken inside the Federal Chancellery compound.
The women chanted "Merkel - free Femen," and two of the women had painted the names of the activists jailed in Tunisia across their bare chests.
Three European Femen demonstrators were arrested last month in Tunis for demonstrating for the release of a Tunisian activist who faces possible charges of public indecency for posting topless photos of herself online in a protest calling for women's rights.
Berlin police said on Friday morning that they did not have immediate information on whether the women had been arrested after the demonstration was broken up.
Merkel is scheduled to meet with Tunisian Prime Minister Ali Larayedh later in the day.
