Pussy Riot is a Russian punk band that some readers of our forums will be familiar with already. A few selections of their work are really quite impressive, even to those of us that don’t speak the language.
But I’m really posting this because of the headline:
Pussy Riot Denied Bail
The three activists were arrested in March after allegedly staging a flash mob-style protest at Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior on Feb. 21. Dressed in the group’s signature scanty clothing and brightly colored balaclavas, Russian authorities say they and another performer walked up to the altar and launched into an impromptu performance of their anti-Putin, anti-church “punk prayer.”
Parishioners and church officials hustled the women off of the altar in less than five minutes. A few days later, Tolokonnikova, Alyokhina and Samutsevich were charged with “hooliganism.” If convicted, they face up to seven years in prison.
Seven years in prison for ‘hooliganism’? Wow. I guess the judge didn’t like the song.
When it comes to riots though, you cant go wrong with a teenage riot.
