P@ssy Riot members sentenced to two years in prison in Russia [View all]

I just saw this on twitter, and I thought of DU: "The fact that every major news anchor will be forced to say the word "P@ssy" tonight is ITSELF a tremendous victory for free speech."

It made me laugh.

What doesn't make me laugh is P@ssy Riot being sentenced to two years of hard prison time for "hooliganism" and "abusing God." Their trial has been called a disgrace and akin to a Soviet-Era show trial.

I know there are planned protests in the US, especially in NYC. Are any of you going?

on edit: Amnesty Internationals is calling them "Prisoners of Conscience," and denouncing their verdict.
