January 16, 2013 Berezniki City Court heard Maria Alyokhina's request to delay her sentence to make it possible for her to educate young son. After many hours the court decided to deny her that in spite of the fact that such deferral is practiced in other cases. The presence of numerous members of the media in the remote town in the Urals shows that the world was still watching this farce of Russian justice.

Chants "What do we want? Freedom: To whom do we want? For Masha!" in Los Angeles

On October 1st, 2012 the Moscow City Court began the appeal process for Masha, Nadia and Katja's two year prison sentence. All over the world demonstrations were held in solidarity.

The hearing has been postponed until October 10th. This may be the last chance for the Russian judicial system to free the jailed members of Pussy Riot. If nothing is done, the women are expected to be sent to three different penal detention centers, where we are very concerned for their personal safety.
