Pussy Riot Members Receive Brutal Sentence


Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova are to serve 24 month sentences in Russia's 'harshest prisons' in Perm and Mordovia for participating in the above posted video.  Their crime was "hooliganism".  Both ladies have daughters in Moscow, they had asked to serve their sentences in Moscow in order to be near their daughters.  Instead they have been sent to  "the most brutal camps of all possible options".
By punishing these ladies for a song, Putin has made their message famous.  ПОШЕЛ ТЫ Putin!  seems to be the most common comment on Pussy Riot's sentencing.
