The State Department expressed its concern over the two-year jail sentence given to a Russian punk band over an anti-government stunt.
"The United States is concerned about both the verdict and the disproportionate sentences handed down by a Moscow court in the case against the members of the band Pussy Riot and the negative impact on freedom of expression in Russia," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement.
"We urge Russian authorities to review this case and ensure that the right to freedom of expression is upheld," Nuland said.

Somehow I doubt Putin appreciates being scolded by the Obama Administration.

You all know that Hillary Hamrod Clinton, the most unqualified and incompetent Cabinet Secretary EVER, is only pretending to care about this crap because she has the opportunity to keep saying the word ‘pussy’ ;o)

Somehow I doubt Putin appreciates being scolded by the Obama Administration. Putin thinks about Obama when he needs a shoe shine.

A Pussy Riot should get screwed.

The State Department expressed its concern over the two-year jail sentence given to a Russian punk band over an anti-government stunt.How ironic.
Meanwhile, an "anti-government stunt" here would probably be labeled a "hate crime."

Someone should review the slaughter at the Branch Dividian Compound in Waco.

Kasparov was also arrested today while giving an interview outside the court. I suppose you approve of that also.
The Russians are behaving like savages from the deepest Congo. I am surprised any freepers are defending them.

Most definitely.
Just think .... These Poseurs sitting as the ‘Head Of State’ seem full bore on turning us into a 3rd World Hell-hole.
Would it be appropriate for US to request Jimmy Carter to monitor our upcoming election?
That should be the final step in making the USA just a shadow of our former self and the tranformation, as promised by BHO, will be complete.

Not defending them, just saying it’s none of our business.

Desecrating a church is a criminal act and it deserves jail time. This case has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

Why are you pretending this is not political speech? They were protesting Kirill’s alliance with Putin.
Is Kasparov also a criminal?
