Violetta Volkova, the lawyer
acting on behalf of the three members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot charged
with aggravated hooliganism after performing a “punk prayer” in Moscow’s Russian
Orthodox cathedral, says that her cients are being deliberately mistreated by
Russian authorities. She says that Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and
Yekaterina Samutsevich are woken at 5am and then kept in a tiny room without
food until they are transported to court before 11 hour court sessions. If
convicted the Pussy Riot face up to seven years in prison for their political anti Putin protests.
