This story with Pussy Riot makes me feel shame to be Russian citizen. Their stroke was really important here not for somebody`s illusions about Putin and company, because there are not many of them, but for many people blinded with Russian orthodox church`s romantic flair, that comes from the times of Soviet Union. Then it was some unit of people of free mind and good will, it was risky to openly belong to it. Time changed, the church became just one more corrupted institution, not passing the exam of liberty – exactly of freedom to chose who to take money from. And now all the believers were forced to see openly and decide for themselves, what they really think about the facts they prefered not to see, and who they want to support and why.
I think western artists support of Pussy Riot means much for the girls first of all, and also for their supporters here, the artists voices just sound loudly, and it means that the world is not deceived with propaganda and the mask of post-soviet “democracy”.

I don't see how this story could be of any interest to anyone except morons whose higer brain function shuts down when they encounter words like "pussy". The best people to decide how justice should be administered in Russia are the Russian authorities, not Red Hot Chili Peppers, Madonna or "Sir" Paul. If Paul McCartney, London resident, wants to be seen as edgy and political, he doesn't need to start pointing his finger at another country as part of some stupid publicity stunt. He should get his dumb ass down to the Ecuadorian embassy and show his support to Julian Assange. That's not likely to happen because he values the paltry honours bestowed on him by British authorities far more than he values helping any human being who is truly in need.

Does Sir Paul McCartney support Gilmour's son who got 16months of jailed for peeing on a war monument ?
Did Russian officials and all the world medias lecture the UK when this sentence was given to him ?

Are the Gilmours in jail for protesting or public indecency ?

GumbootCloggerooWhy is it a shame? They're allowed to remain private on whatever issue they want. For all we know, they do support them. But just because a Beatle issues a press release does not mean that the Stones are expected to follow suit.Quote

Try to "protest" in Westminster Abbaye, or in a mosque, or a synagogue... and call for the government to be overthrown... would be funny to see what happens to you next. For sure in that case we wouldn't have medias all over the world doing headlines with this as the UK is no problem politically and is perfectly in line with the US interests...
Oh by the way:Quote

Abusive detention without trial is ok when it's in the US or any country within the Axis of Good.

To answer your question: has someone in Russia or China been incarcerated without real trial - yes. But I really dont understand your point, why do you post stories about mentally ill racist people here ? Do you need psychiatric help yourself ?

How exactly do you determine which people are mentally ill racists and which ones are protestors?
