Two members of the band Pussy Riot are to be transferred to a remote Penal Colony after losing their appeal to stay in a pre-trial detention center.
Conditions at the colony are described as squalid, and inmates are at times treated brutally.
Russian law dictates that only inmates with less then six month prison terms can stay at the pre-trial detention center and both women were given a 2 year sentence after being convicted of Hooliganism, motivated by religious hatred for a cathedral protest against Vladimir Putin.
Hooliganism. Not shooting the place up, bombing it, or harming anyone.
How dare they pray! And in a church of all places.
I don't know how you feel about it but with all due respect, If I was Mr. Putin, considering what's going on in allot of other places in the world today, I'd consider myself truly blessed if the worst thing I had to worry about was a group of girls praying in church.
In my opinion (for whatever it's worth) These girls might deserve a fine for what they did but 2 years in a Penal Colony?
well that just seems a bit excessive to me.......I'm just sayin.
