Russian punk protesters sentenced to two years jail

http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/20.../20111796.html

Three women from Russian punk band ##### Riot were sentenced to two years in jail on Friday for their protest against President Vladimir Putin in a church, an outcome supporters described as the Kremlin leader’s “personal revenge”.

The band’s supporters burst into chants of “Shame” outside the Moscow courthouse and said the case showed Putin’s refusal to tolerate dissent. The U.S. embassy in Moscow said the sentence appeared disproportionate to what the defendants did.

Tell Russia To Release ##### Riot!
