Three young women are being detained by Russian authorities for allegedly performing a protest song in a cathedral as part of a feminist punk group “Pussy Riot”. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich were arrested in March 2012 and charged with “hooliganism”. Yesterday the pre-trial detention of the three Pussy Riot members was extended until January 2013. If found guilty, they could be jailed for up to 7 years.
