German police detain woman protestor who disrupted ECB's Draghi

BERLIN (Reuters) - German police said on Wednesday they have detained a 21-year old woman from Hamburg who disrupted the European Central Bank's news conference and she is now being questioned, a spokesman for the police in Frankfurt said. The woman, who leapt onto a desk in front of ECB President Mario Draghi, shouted "End the ECB dictatorship" before being bundled off by security. A women's rights group calling itself FEMEN international claimed responsibility for the protest on Twitter. (Reporting by Caroline Copley; editing by Erik Kirschbaum)
