Three members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot have been jailed

Just to follow on from the previous post:


Three members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot have been jailed for two years after staging an anti-Vladimir Putin protest in a Moscow cathedral.

Judge Marina Syrova convicted the women of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, saying they had "crudely undermined social order".

Apparently, Mr Putin is head of the Russian Orthodox Church, which must be one hell of a leap of faith for an ex KGB man.

So, in short, why bother to overthrow a crude dictatorship when you just replace it with more of the same?

And just to add,  for the sake of Judge Marina Syrova, I hate religion too.
