That was two weeks ago. Now, today, 6 months was added to a term of imprisonment.

Moscow's Khamovnichesky Court on Friday ruled to extend the current term of detention for participants of the ‘Pussy riot’ punk group until January 12, 2013. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Yekaterina Samutsevich and Maria Alyokhina have been in jail since February for a guerilla performance inside Russia’s main Orthodox cathedral in February 2012. Their current term of detention was to expire on July 24. The state prosecutor had asked the court to prolong the custodial term to six months. The group’s members face up to seven years in prison for hooliganism.

I applaud the authorities for the locking up of these hideous women, where they can not do any harm. Not only do they behave in the way that is seditious, they attacked the dignity of one of the pillars of society in the form of the church. I hope that when they are convicted of a crime, they get a full seven-year term.

What do you think?

I think it was an act of protest and they should be let free, as if there was ever a chance of that happening.

Why hasn't the US invaded Russia yet? I mean, seriously?! That's just fucked up.

[The Tiger Kingdom]

Very, very brave ladies. When you've got a government as screwed-up as Russia's is now, you've gotta take some kind of drastic action to draw people's attention.
It's interesting you think their appearance is somehow relevant to this, and then call them seditionists for exercising their right to free speech. Says a lot about you.

I hope you're joking.

Therefor, every nation in the world can invade America, see? I can make up bullshit too

Of course. Nuclear weapons ended all large country-country war.

[Samuraikoku]

Based on the source, I don't understand what "hooliganism" is... it's not like they rioted in the church.

[Typhlochactas]

Even if we could invade them, it's absolutely stupid to do so because they imprisoned a punk band. This sounds like something from a B-rate comedy film. ''Watch as Pussy Riot takes a vacation to Moscow, and they quickly find themselves amidst the turmoil of protests on the streets. After getting caught up in the protests, they find themselves in the evil dungeon of Count Vladimir Putin, and now the United States and NATO are invading to free them from the hands of the evil Sith Lord.''

I know. That's why it's a joke.

Its whatever the Orthodox Church wants it to be, some places it has more power then the Government

Hope they have a geiger counter. Sweeping their meals for polonium is going to be a bitch.

That's what you get for insulting Comrade Putin and his connections in the new KGB!

Cool story bro.

Russia is suppressing dissent. Nothing new there since, oh I don't know, the dawn of time. I do like how cozy the State is getting with the Orthodox Church.

Marriage of convenience, Putin will cut them down the moment they stop being useful

[Forsakia]

The sentence is harsh, but you can't just start playing in a church without permission.

[Cruciland]

I heavily applaud the authorities, as well. They crossed the line as soon as they attacked a Christian church.

So you would be crying for their release if they did it in a mosque or a synagogue huh?

Attack?

They were dancing.

[The Tiger Kingdom]

They didn't attack anything. No one got hurt. They played an unauthorized performance INSIDE a church.
Glad to know you're so approving of Russia's complete disregard of free speech and human rights.

Why is that a line? It might be because I come from a nation where people think nothing of Insulting or making fun of anything, but why should we give a shit what a church that has been a suck up to every murderous dictator/absolute ruler for the past 1000 years thinks?

Fuck sakes. No.

I don't know if that time will come anytime soon. Putin is playing on the old and very close ties between the monarchy and the church. The Russian Tsar used to be known as the defender of the faith within the Orthodox Church. It looks like Putin seeks to reestablish that fact.

Putin has been pulling pages from the Monarchy's playbook to justify his legitimacy for some time.

[Wamitoria]

I still can't take that name seriously.

And he will act exactly as the Tsar's, cutting them down when their influence rivals his
