German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the sentences "excessively harsh" and chastised Russia for not living up to "the values of European law and democracy".

but today...
Church officials at a German cathedral have filed charges against three masked activists who disrupted a Sunday mass in support of the Russian rock group Pussy Riot, the officials confirmed to NBC News.

Two days after the Pussy Riot verdict in Moscow, the copycats stormed into the mass at Cologne cathedral and shouted “Free Pussy Riot,” while throwing leaflets into the crowd.


After less than a minute, the activists were escorted out by church wardens.

Prosecutors told NBC News that under German law, the two men and one woman could be prosecuted for the disruption of free practice of religion.
and the kicker is...
If convicted, they could face up to three years in prison

Meanwhile...
Russian Orthodox Church clerics have asked the country’s authorities to "show mercy" on the three members of the punk band Pussy Riot, who were sentenced to two years in jail

Personally I believe that the Pussy Riot women should never have been arrested in the first place.
Having said that; they were out to make a publicity stunt to make up for the fact that they really aren't very talented in the model of Madonnatm.

Fair play to them and their corporate ways but they might have shown a bit of consideration to the generation that lived through a regime that was persecutin Orthodox Christinity. Freedom of worship is, after all, freedom of thought. As my dear atheist brother pointed out: freedom of thought is freedom to be wrong about the existence of God.

But the reason why I posted this is because i noticed the clmouring of nations to condemn Russia (for whose regime I have no affection for) to score points while the Assange case was front page news.

Talk about an own goal (bwahahahahahha).

One should remember that our Rusky cousins are very good at chess.;)

Another stunning example of why we need to ditch these dangerous clowns.

They're all at it. Condemning human rights abuses of others whilst doing similar themselves.
Condemning the clampdown on protest whilst doing similar themselves.
How long should I make this list?


Complete non compliance with the system of representative democracy, by not voting and campaigning for people not to vote, is the only way to effectively remove these 'people' from the positions where they can perpetrate these abuses.

First, in case you never heard of it, a couple of years ago one of the band’s members put up three effigies in one of Moscow’s big supermarkets, with a sign saying that Jews, gays and migrant workers should be driven out of Moscow

If, and I stress IF, this is true than this will have been one of the greatest checkmate in recent gobal PR history.
