Lawyer: Pussy Riot In Danger

Only weeks away from Pussy Riot’s final court date on October 1st, the Russian feminist punk-rock group’s defense team said on Friday out that the feminist punk trio could face rape and murder in a Russian prison. Violetta Volkova, one of three lawyers defending the group said the three Russian women will most likely be shipped off to “penal hard labor colonies” where Volkova says a “warm welcome is being prepared.” The “PR Maestro” of the defense team Pyotr Verzilov, who has been live-tweeting his wife’s trial, was in New York Friday where he and the couple’s four-year-old daughter Gara accepted an award from Yoko Ono and Amnesty International on her behalf.
