Amnesty International
called Russian punk feminist collective Pussy Riot “prisoners of
conscience,” after a February 21 anti-Putin protest landed three
members of the band on trial for “hooliganism motivated by
religious hatred.” The plight of Pussy Riot has provoked
international attention — and pressure for lenience — as the women
face three to seven years in prison. On August 10, Reason TV headed
down to the Solidarity
Concert for Pussy Riot, right across from the Russian
embassy.
