Pussy Riot are turning the legal tables on their country and suing the Russian government in the European court of human rights over their imprisonment for a February 2012 'punk prayer' protest at a Moscow cathedral.

The members of Pussy Riot are free and the group is experiencing more recognition than they had before they were jailed, so what will they do with that platform?

The members of the Russian band Pussy Riot are now free ahead of schedule. Nadya Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina have been released from jail three months before their sentence was initially set to end.

'Pussy Riot - A Punk Prayer,' a documentary about the imprisoned Russian punk band, has been picked up by HBO. The cable-TV network will most likely air the movie sometime this year.

The plight of Pussy Riot rages on, and the ripple effect is now being felt, as Maria Alekhina, one of the imprisoned members of the Russian punk collective, saw her recent appeal denied by a Russian court.

Now, three members -- the two that remain imprisoned and the one who was given probation -- have been nominated for Time magazin

The imprisonment of Russian band Pussy Riot has been a hot news story as of late, so it’s no surprise that the issue was mentioned in a recent installment of ‘South Park.’ In the episode, which aired on Halloween, Jesus sports a ‘Free Pussy Riot’ t-shirt and shares his thoughts on the matter.

– Just when you think things can’t get any worse for Pussy Riot, the two members still incarcerated have been sent to “the harshest” prison camps in Russia. Usually, we use the news roundup to make dumb jokes, but this is actually pretty sad and terrifying.

– Pussy Riot member Yekaterina Samutsevich has vowed to continue taking part in the band’s protests against Russian President Vladimir Putin — despite finally being freed earlier this week after months in prison on charges of  hooliganism for a previous anti-Putin event. Thankfully this means we get to continue covering this crucial social justice issue — and we vow to keep using the word “pussy”

The three members of the Russian feminist punk collective Pussy Riot who earlier this month were convicted of hooliganism and sentenced to two years in prison after staging a “punk prayer” in protest of President Vladimir Putin have officially filed an appeal.
