Italy: Hundreds of Thousands of Women Protest Prime Minister 
-------------------------------------------------------------



Hundreds of thousands of Italian women took part in rallies on Sunday to
show their opposition to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who is
embroiled in an underage prostitution scandal. Protests were organized
in more than 200 towns and cities throughout Italy. Last week,
prosecutors filed a request to bring Berlusconi to trial, accusing him
of paying for sex with a nightclub dancer when she was under 18 years
old.
