And oh, it gets so much better. Or worse. Haven't finished the article yet.

This really needs to get more coverage.

NPR had some coverage of the Olympicstoday and out of nowhere they started talking about Pussy Riot. I guess they were arrested (in Moscow, I think?) and some British musicians are protesting this.

Follow the Guardian, they're doing regular reporting on that story. Basically, Pussy Riot have been arrested now for about five months. They're at trial. The other day one of the member collapsed out of exhaustion because the thing runs for about 11 hours and they are not being given proper food and drink.
