Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

The sentence for Pussy Riot: Two years in prison, though the sentence can be appealed in the next ten days.

shortformblog:

A Moscow court has sentenced three members of Pussy Riot to two years in prison for hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and enmity.

The Judge said they showed flagrant disregard for the church parishioners and the fundamentals of the Orthodox faith.

“By their actions, Samutsevich, Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina seriously disrupted public order and the day-to-day running of the Cathedral. They showed blatant disrespect to church-goers and workers, and in doing so gravely offended their religious sensibilities,” Judge Syrova said.

Some 100 foreign journalists, including those from countries likes Japan and Australia, gathered at Khamovnichesky Court on Friday to report on the judge’s verdict.

The trial has sharply divided Russian society, with many debating punishment for the group over the infamous ‘punk prayer’ they performed in Moscow’s Christ the Savior Cathedral. There is intense public interest in the long-awaited verdict.

Two years for hooliganism. Crazy.

This is important. Read up and get educated on the world.
