Three members of Russian female punk rock band Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in prison Friday after they were found guilty of hooliganism for performing a song critical of President Vladimir Putin in a church.
The five months they have spent in detention since their arrests in March count toward the sentence, Judge Marina Sirovaya said.
The judge said the charges against the three women - Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich - had been proved by witnesses and the facts.
The Pussy Riot members were charged after screaming, "Mother Mary, please drive Putin away," in a protest act in February inside Christ Savior Cathedral, one of Moscow's grandest houses of worship.

Wanna know what "petty" really is? A country where a child's lemonade stand gets shut down by uniformed cops because the kids lacked Leviathan's "permission", i.e. – permits.
As nothing more than nihlistic attention wh0res, they've been amply rewarded with what they crave the most.
Quite true Sodomite, quite true indeed!!!
I agree indeed
What you said might be true if they were an American band, attempting this stunt in the USA. You make a common mistake... you apply your understanding of politics in the USA to countries that are nothing like the USA. Its just wrong and it makes you ignorant of realities in countries other than your own. The Russian government is corrupt to an extent that American's can't even conceive of and the Orthodox Church is in on the deal. Those girls risked their lives to make this political point. Have you not been paying attention?
Risked their lives????????????
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now i'm looking both for blog sites which provide neutral, healthy comments about pretty much all issues as well as blog sites that have already the open-handed as well as left-wing leaning. Many thanks.. Lisanti
Those tramp girls STOLE the use of that church to make a video to make money-THEY ARE THIEVES! Those thief girls took over that church over the objections of those already inside the church! Those thief girls denied the right of free speech to those people already inside that church! Those thief girls are modern day Hitlers taking what they want!
Well said, Dave. Thank you.
fool, they chose the venue of the church because of the corruption in it and the connection to the putin government. They made no money from this. This is some of the most genuine political protest punk rock ever. This is the real thing, not leftist rage against the machine saying stupid things in a free society.
Modern day Hitlers? what planet are you from?
It's very simple, don't complain about Putin. Complaining in Russia is just like complaining here, it does no good and could get you killed. The man who brought out GW Bush's DWI in 2000, was threatened with death, along with his wife and children.
execute them the soviet union did enormous scenitific progress for human kind these girls need a firm smack to the back of the head.
What? Putin doesn't like pu$$y? Hahahahahahahahahahaa
