Pussy Riot - 10 Years Later - Open Edition - “Judgement Day”

Description: Photo of Pussy Riot laughing as a reaction to being sentenced to 2 years. Taken by Anna Artemyeva on Aug 17 of 2012.

Personal Statement:

“The court believes that the restoration of social justice is possible only if a REAL PUNISHMENT WITH REAL IMPRISONMENT is imposed and the defendants are corrected. The court sentences: Tolokonnikova is guilty, 2 years in a penal colony. Samutsevich - found guilty - 2 years. Alekhina - 2 years."

That was the last thing we've heard from the court before being sent to labor camps. But we celebrate this 10-years-anniversary, together with you, because we believe that we came out on the other side of this punishment stronger. Pussy Riot has hundreds of members globally, from Buenos Aires to Hong Kong, and no one can imprison all of us, because we are a movement.

No Pasaran!
