Three young ladies from Pussy Riot are on trial today in Moscow for "desecrating" the cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church. What did they do? They sang a ribald song by the high altar mocking President Vladimir Putin. And for that, they could be in jail a very long time.
This legal action is a travesty and a blot against justice.
Where is the concept of free speech in Russia today? It appears not to exist. Say something in church against the ruling ecclesiastical or political authorities and you could wind up like members of the Pussy Riot facing a sentence of seven years.
