The Telegraph: #Putin 's Russia in the dock during #PussyRiot trial

The trial of three women who staged a peaceful protest in a church has focused worldwide attention on the growing crackdown in Russia since Vladimir Putin returned to the presidency in May, writes Tom Parfitt.

Look to your right in room number seven at Moscow's Khamovnichesky Court and you could be in a family living room. Beige walls, a row of pot plants standing on four window-sills bathed in sunlight.
But turn your gaze to the left and an altogether different scene meets the eye: a man in camouflage fatigues holding an Alsatian on a leash, two black-clad men cradling assault rifles and, between them, three well-groomed young women sitting in a glass and steel box.
The women, casually dressed, are Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria Alekhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29: feminist activists from the group called Pussy Riot, who face up to seven years in jail if convicted for staging a peaceful protest in an Orthodox church.
Their trial, which began last week and will continue on Monday, has focused worldwide attention on the growing crackdown in Russia since Vladimir Putin returned to the presidency in May.
A raft of repressive laws approved in parliament, the dubious criminal prosecution of a prominent opposition leader and a series of raids on activists' homes have, for many Russians, eclipsed the hopes of democratic progress they indulged during the one-term presidency of Dmitry Medvedev, Mr Putin's predecessor and ally.

I wonder why these protesters decide only to protest at certain churches...Protesting at a place of worship for Muslims....um no (they wouldn't come out alive). But that Catholic church seems fine. They might not be a dumb as they look after all.

You are not quite correct. There are many things on which Russian Orthodox church disagrees with the Russian authorities, like on abortions, surrogate maternity, some certain actions directed at ethnic minorities. I don't think your statement of 'hypocrisy' are very well-founded. Church's relationship with Putin is nothing special in Russia, some clerics are against him, some favour him etc, and they express their views openly, church is not an army. '

Free pussy riot

Lordy, everyone of you must be stupid, this makes me sad for humanity. Since when does a protest, a victimless crime, get more jail time then a drunk driver or robber? 2 years. Their children didn't do anything, why do they suffer? Sad thing you just aren't getting is they were protesting for rights of OTHER women who have none, and against a leader of MANY who is taking rights away. Way to help prove a point! Please do your research and learn where this country has gone due to many similar acts

[properneed]

No single word about 'Putin' sounded during their 'performance'. If they call themselves feminists, logically they must have much greater complaints against the muslim clerks, rather than orthodox christian.

[Helga Vacca]

Your comment has no relevance. Why would they go to the Muslim place to prey Mother Mary to free Russia from Putin?

[properneed]

Likewise, the pussy riot case has very little or nothing to do with freedom of speech or freedom of expression, because those rights do not extend to such a degree that would include the right to break into a church and do this kind of things. Of course I'm not happy they're in jail, but on the other hand, they committed a crime, which is classified as grave hooliganism out of social enmity by the penal code of Russia, so the court decision is legal.

This is really disturbing. They look crazy and I would be a little bit scared.
