RABAT (Reuters) - Morocco expelled two French women activists who bared their breasts and kissed each other outside an ancient mosque on Tuesday in a protest about gay rights in a country where homosexuality is illegal.

It was at least the second demonstration by the feminist group Femen in a Muslim country, after Tunisia in 2013 where three European activists were sentenced to four months in jail. They were released after serving one month.
