Jailed & Censored Russia's Pussy Riot Hailed by Supporters From Yoko Ono to Aung San Suu Kyi
история:
DemocracyNow.org - Three members of the Russian band Pussy Riot have spent the last six months in prison for staging a protest against Russian leader Vladimir Putin inside an Orthodox cathedral. On Friday, the group was awarded the LennonOno Grant for Peace award by the artist and activist Yoko Ono. On Thursday, Pussy Riot also received the public backing of Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who is currently on her first visit to the United States in more than three decades. We're joined by two guests who have traveled to the United States on Pussy Riot's behalf: Pyotr Verzilov, husband of jailed Pussy Riot Member Nadia Tolokonnikova; and Alisa Obraztsova, lawyer's assistant with the band's legal defense team.
