Hey,
I signed a petition to defend the members
of Pussy Riot from a possibly lethal sentencing to a faraway Russian penal colony.
Will you sign, too?http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AG5UN/zM1h/cFMWtThe three members of Pussy Riot who were sentenced to two years in prison for singing an anti-Putin song have been doomed to serve their sentence in a far-off penal colony,
from which they're already receiving death threats.The trip to the penal colony itself is life threatening: twenty or more prisoners are packed into train cars meant for four people. Trips can take several days, during which prisoners are subject to hazing rituals.
According to Russia's prosecutor general, over 2,000 prisoners have died in or en route to Russian prisons over the last six months.Pussy Riot's deadline for their appeal is
tomorrow. Will you join me in standing up for them?
