Pussy Riot is a Feminist Punk band in Moscow, Russia. There are 12 members, the performances depict Russian Political life. The punk group was organized, partly, due to anger over what they perceived as government policies that discriminate against women, citing legislation that "placed restrictions on legal abortions". According to their co-founder, Pussy Riot is "part of the global anti-capitalist movement".
On Feb, 21 2012, 5 members of the group staged an illegal performance on the Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, protesting the re-election of Vladimir Putin. There performance caused three members of the band to be arrested and charged with "hooliganism" they have been sentenced to two years in prison each.
The prison sentence these activist were giving is so ridiculous, what is the point of human rights!? Freedom of speech?? If this can occur. It just shows that there is no separation between church and state, whereas there should be. Americas not any better tho ;>
