This is a damn shame. FREE PUSSY RIOT.
Pussy Riot found guilty of hooliganism by Moscow court
Three members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot have been convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, over a protest in a cathedral.
Judge Marina Syrova said the women had “crudely undermined social order” during their action in February.
The women say their “punk prayer” was a political act in protest against the Russian Orthodox Church leader’s support of President Vladimir Putin.
Prosecutors are seeking a three-year jail sentence.
UPDATE: The 3 women of Pussy Riot were just sentenced to 2 years in a prison colony.
SHAME ON YOU, RUSSIA!
