Russia prosecutors seek three years’ jail for Pussy Riot
Russian prosecutors on Tuesday asked for a three year jail sentence for the three female members of Pussy Riot, saying their crime of singing an anti-Vladimir Putin song in a church was so “severe” they deserved isolation.
“This crime is severe and the prosecution considers that their correction is only possible in conditions of isolation from society and the punishment needed must be a real deprivation of freedom,” the state prosecutor told the court.
