Three members of Pussy Riot -- a Russian punk band and feminist collective that mocked Russian president Vladamir Putin during a "punk prayer" in a Moscow cathedral--have been found guilty of hooliganism and sentenced to two years in jail
Judge Marina Syrova announced the verdict from a district court in central Moscow, about two miles from the Christ the Saviour Cathedral where the guerrilla group performed its "flash" stunt.
The band members--Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30--were arrested on March 3, several weeks after the performance, and charged with "hooliganism." They've been in jail ever since.

Their trial drew enormous international interest, sparking catcalls from international free-speech advocates and spawning dozens of protests. Some of those were reported on Twitter during the verdict and sentencing, involving an impromptu musical concert and some protests in public areas in Moscow and London.
Madonna, Bjork, Paul McCartney and Courtney Love were among a long list of musicians to come out in support of Pussy Riot, calling on the Russian government to set the band members free. Last week in Berlin, more than 400 people joined a protest led by electro-singer Peaches.

"In one of the most extravagant displays," the Associated Press said, "Reykjavik Mayor Jon Gnarr rode through the streets of the Icelandic capital in a Gay Pride parade ... dressed like a band member--wearing a bright pink dress and matching balaclava--while lip-synching to one of Pussy Riot's songs."

What started as "a punk-infused political prank," London's Independent said, "has rapidly snowballed into one of the most notorious court cases in post-Soviet Russian history."
Five members of the group, which formed in 2011, were arrested in January after a video of a Putin-baiting performance in Moscow's Red Square circulated online. They were detained for several hours by police, fined and released, NPR said.
But the 10-member Pussy Riot, inspired by the American "riot grrrl" movement and bands like Bikini Kill, vowed more protest performances.
Pussy Riot's stunt at Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral, a Russian Orthodox church, was a response, they said, to Patriarch Kirill's public support of Putin in the build-up to Russia's presidential election. Putin won a third term as president in March.
"Holy Mother, send Putin packing!" the group sang.
The Guardian called the trial, which began on July 30, "worse than Soviet era."
"By the end of the first week of Pussy Riot's trial," the Guardian's Miriam Elder wrote last week, "everyone in the shabby Moscow courthouse was tired. Guards, armed with submachine guns, grabbed journalists and threw them out of the room at will. The judge, perched in front of a shabby Russian flag, refused to look at the defense. And the police dog--a 100 [pound] black Rottweiler--no longer sat in the corner she had occupied since the start of Russia's trial of the year, but barked and foamed at the mouth as if she were in search of blood."
Lawyers for the women complained during the trial that the trio were being starved and tortured in prison. Two threatened to go on a hunger strike after they were initially jailed.
"Their treatment has caused deep disquiet among many Russians, who feel the women are--to coin a phrase from the 1967 trial of members of the Rolling Stones--butterflies being broken on a wheel," the BBC's Daniel Sandford wrote.
Syrova was subjected to unspecified threats during the trial, Russian authorities announced on Thursday--assigning bodyguards to protect her before and after she announced the verdict.
Several Russian pop stars, though, questioned the outpouring of support for Pussy Riot.
"What is so great about Pussy Riot that all these international stars support them?" Russian singer Valeria wrote on her website, according to Reuters. "They must be saying this because someone ordered them to."
"Art and politics are inseparable for us," the band said in an interview with the online newspaper Gazeta.ru in February. "We try to make political art. Performances and their rehearsals are our job. Life in Pussy Riot takes a lot of time."

-
Sometimes you just gotta put the pussy on lockdown.

Seriously speaking, USA made huge counter-favor when it started to push the agenda to free these girls.
By trying to put pressure on Russia, they made sure Russia needs to show they don't take orders from Americans.
I'm pretty sure they would have been fined at most if aggressor nations haven't tried to influence the process.
Sad for the girls but that's IMO the way it went.
They deserved punishment for their stunt - few months would have been right, I think. Muslims would have stoned the fuk out of these girls had they done the same in moskue.
-
On a positive note; they'll do their time, get out, come to the US and tour and make a gang of bread.
-
In Soviet Russia, they whip the pussy!

i wonder how many years someone would get if they jumped over the fence and started singing and dancing on the White house lawn, .... More then likely you get LIFE, by life a bullet to the brain

Silly. It's petty, arbitrary shit like this that will bring about Putin's removal. He should be ignoring this small stuff.

Agreed 100%.
As big a respecter of his achievements I am, I have to say he has made some bad decisions lately. Beginning from the way he just told everyone he will make comeback as president.
Maybe he became over-confident when everything went so smoothly earlier and opposition against him barely existed.
Church is ready for absolution and is asking for releasing of girls if they promise not to commit blasphemy again - church is very powerful in RUS

What all of you totally miss is the fact that we have just witnessed the end of the Russian states of rights -this will have consequences.

They are a bunch of lefties and the same goes for their supporters. In case you can't tell, I hate lefties.

two years for speaking your mind.
America certainly has it's problems but we dont have those kind of problems. Dixie Chicks made a statement and lost some audience money. These ladies do hard time.

Working camp for "offending" delusional people who believe in their non-existing friend ::) ::) ::)
Some damn Russian religious "authority" visited Poland this weekend. It's all over the news like it was something important. I hate this religious gibberish, it's such a waste of time and money for everyone. These guys who felt "offended" by these girls should have been sent to psychiatric hospital instead of those girls.

rich spoiled daughters of rich leftists peaceniks without a doubt. Serve them right.

They're not attractive enough for me to sympathize. Pass.

I'd like to see the Kardashians should get 5 to 10 years in prison for their attention whoring

Dumb whores - to hell with them.
Saw it today on ORF(OralRoadFucks)... and it went "Putin bad, Putin bad, Putin bad, ....".
It's easy - it's the West's(which is long gone) attack on Russia's politics which are one of the few roadblocks contrary to their liking.

At least in America they just shoot dissenting Musicians, when John Lennon sang "Give Peace a chance", it was an obvious attack on the American way of life that infuriated the President.
