Closing statements in the Pussy Riot trial were made today. Here's the scoop.
Click on their names for the full statements. Here are some select quotes:
"Essentially, it is not three singers from Pussy Riot who are on trial here. If that were the case, what’s happening would be totally insignificant. It is the entire state system of the Russian Federation which is on trial."
"Now the whole world sees that the criminal case against us has been fabricated. The system cannot conceal the repressive nature of this trial."
No word from Maria Alyokhina yet but let's not forget about her.
Sign this petition and make your voice heard. Let's continue to hold Russia under our magnifying glass.
