Movement against intolerance

On February 21st the Pussy Riot feminist punk band in Russia has been accused of "vandalist, terrorist and blasphemous" by the government of Vladimir Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church for having performed  their music and protests inside a church.
Their themes of protest, ranging from feminism to the "Anti-Putin"  position since he was re-elected Russian president and has received  criticism over his disrespect for civil rights.
Many say that Putin has used the church as a powerful tool in its  command structure, allowing it to accumulate great wealth in exchange  for unconditional support of their political and spiritual blessing  leadership.
*The reason why I chose this news is because I think that it is an interesting story and amazing in all aspects.
