Activists from Ukrainian pressure group Femen tore off their clothes and shouted slogans against 'court-sanctioned murder' during the event at the Ukrainian House convention centre which was attended by hundreds of Ukrainian and Iranian dignitaries.

'Don't kill women!' shouted one as security guards moved to expel the protesters after a scuffle. Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani Mother of two Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani was sentenced to death by stoning (AFP/Getty)

The audience at the even later received an apology from Ukrainian officials, who said: 'At least we don't have to be ashamed about what we have on display.'

Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani's case, which Iranian authorities say is under review, has sparked international protests in recent months.

The 43-year-old mother of two is currently imprisoned in the north-western city of Tabriz.
