Cold ore smelted into prison bars / salt tears rust them through: cry for the Pussy Riot girls / pool two years corrosion; break them free
So much for free speech - 'keep the rebels quiet' say state agencies, keep them down. Three girls imprisoned for expressing their political views...risking losing their children...can we sit back and let it happen? Come on, come on...at least read more, sign petitions, create your own Pussy Riot in a town near you...)
The conviction of three members of the Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot on August 17, 2012 is inappropriate and disproportionate. The three women were convicted on charges of hate-motivated hooliganism and sentenced to two years in prison.
The three women have been in detention for over five months and should be released.
Pussy Riot is a Russian feminist punk-rock group based in Moscow. Founded in August 2011, the band stages politically provocative performances about Russian political life in unusual locations, such as Lobnoye Mesto on Red Square , on top of a trolleybus or on a scaffold in the Moscow Metro.According to the group's co-founder: "Pussy Riot’s performances can either be called dissident art or political action that engages art forms. Either way, our performances are a kind of civic activity amidst the repressions of a corporate political system that directs its power against basic human rights and civil and political liberties."
