Pussy Riot Update!


As we have mentioned the story of Pussy Riot and the verdict that landed them in jail for two years. The last two weeks, so much information has come out about the three incarcerated members looking to appeal and the outpouring of support from people around the world.

Since the members of the Russian punk band were given their sentence, Russian police and authorities have been other members of the band, which could consist of up to 10 other people. According to reports from The Guardian two members of the band have fled Russia successfully.

While there seems to be a witch hunt going on in Russia, those three women in jail are looking to appeal their conviction. The women's lawyers filed for appeal on Monday and should take up to 10 days to hear if they will be allowed to appeal.

In the meantime, Bjork is selling Pussy Riot shirts (those photographed above), with all proceeds going to the bands legal fund. To purchase a shirt and support these brave women, click HERE.
