| The Band Pussy Riot |
I don't know how i haven't heard of the band PUSSY RIOT before this incident. Pussy riot is a Russian Feminist punk rock band based in Moscow.
On August 17, 2012 three members were convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred from a performance they held in February showing their opposition to to the Russian President ,Vladimir Putin, and the politics of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Pussy Riot has gained many supports, such as Madonna, who believes their sentence is too harsh and cruel. They are currently in jail and are being treated harshly in prison by the guards.

I think so and what happened to expressing yourself and your beliefs in your political view?
