“…Russian punk trio Pussy Riot … sit ensconced behind glass in a Moscow courtroom this week, facing trial after their March arrest for having performed an anti-government “punk prayer” inside the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.
“…The three women have been incarcerated for the five months since their arrest, facing charges of “hooliganism,” a crime punishable by up to seven years in prison — but trial-watchers are saying it will likely be closer to three years spent in a gulag…” -YT
Charges of hooliganism? I didn’t even know hooliganism was a word…
I think the big thing with this case is that their protest took place in a church. This brings up so much stuff… Well, way too much stuff to talk about here. Feel free to have your say in the comments!
