[From Reuters] Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, currently serving two years in jail for performing a "punk prayer" in a Moscow cathedral in a protest against President Vladimir Putin has announced she is going on a hunger strike against slave labor in "Correction Colony #14. 


"I will do this until the administration starts obeying the law and stops treating incarcerated women like cattle," 

That the Orthodox Church has not acted to free them is a disgrace. Thousands across the world have protested the band's incarceration, including many major reording artists.

 In solidarity with the members of Pussy Riot and all artists oppressed/imprisoned by draconian regimes everywhere,
