0:00:07.084,0:00:09.052
We are standing with Pussy Riot

0:00:09.052,0:00:14.024
and we are not going to be quiet!

0:00:14.024,0:00:16.036
Free free Pussy Riot!

0:00:16.036,0:00:18.044
"Occupy the city by frying pan

0:00:18.044,0:00:20.008
Walk out with vacuum cleaner, get an orgasm

0:00:20.008,0:00:22.084
Pervert battalion of police girls

0:00:22.084,0:00:25.092
Naked cops celebrating new reform

0:00:25.092,0:00:28.006
Fuck-up sexists, fucking putinists"

0:00:28.006,0:00:29.084
Tons of people are out here,

0:00:29.084,0:00:33.006
and tons of people around the world are standing up to free Pussy Riot.

0:00:33.006,0:00:35.068
Set free Pussy Riot!

0:00:35.068,0:00:39.006
We won't stay quiet, set free Pussy Riot!

0:00:39.006,0:00:43.000
Pussy Riot is a punk collective in Russia

0:00:43.000,0:00:45.008
and recently on February 21st

0:00:45.008,0:00:49.012
members of Pussy Riot participated in an action

0:00:49.012,0:00:53.088
where they sang a song in a Russian orthodox church.

0:00:53.088,0:00:56.068
For that they've been charged with hooliganism.

0:00:56.068,0:01:02.012
and they are facing up to seven years of prison time.

0:01:02.012,0:01:06.036
"Mother of God, Blessed Virgin,

0:01:06.036,0:01:09.092
send Putin away,

0:01:09.092,0:01:19.000
send Putin away, send Putin away!"

0:01:19.000,0:01:22.092
Putin has used them as an example,

0:01:22.092,0:01:24.008
of what he doesn't want to see,

0:01:24.008,0:01:26.052
he doesn't want to see people protesting him specifically.

0:01:26.052,0:01:29.048
This is a blatant violation of Human Rights,

0:01:29.048,0:01:32.068
for free expression to be thrown in prison

0:01:32.068,0:01:35.036
it's just something that should never be.

0:01:35.036,0:01:39.012
Set free Pussy Riot!

0:01:39.012,0:01:43.008
We won't stay quiet, set free Pussy Riot!

0:01:43.008,0:01:45.012
What do we want? Human rights!

0:01:45.012,0:01:47.004
When do we want it? Now!

0:01:47.004,0:01:49.016
What do we want? Freedom rights!

0:01:49.016,0:01:51.000
When do we want it? Now!

0:01:51.000,0:01:54.084
The people who are inside this building need to understand,

0:01:54.084,0:01:58.000
That people are watching around the world!

0:01:58.000,0:02:02.084
The fact that Pussy Riot is in prison for what they've done is ludicrous

0:02:02.084,0:02:06.072
it makes Vladimir Putin look very scared,

0:02:06.072,0:02:09.016
it makes him look very small,

0:02:09.016,0:02:13.000
it makes him look as if he realizes he has no legitimacy

0:02:13.000,0:02:17.076
In the eyes of many if not the majority of the Russian people.

0:02:17.076,0:02:20.084
It's outrageous that people who are participating in artistic expression,

0:02:20.084,0:02:23.052
are facing criminal charges for a non-violent crime,

0:02:23.052,0:02:28.004
and that these charges are pushed forward by the orthodox church in Russia,

0:02:28.004,0:02:31.002
you know, people who are practicing christianity should probably be

0:02:31.002,0:02:34.012
supporting peace love and understanding and non-violence,

0:02:34.012,0:02:37.004
and people in the church are advocating in their detention.

0:02:37.004,0:02:39.004
They could be detained for up to seven years,

0:02:39.004,0:02:42.028
two of the women have children, one is a single mother,

0:02:42.028,0:02:43.006
and they've been unable to see their children.

0:02:43.006,0:02:47.044
Pussy riot have already been serving a sentence for six or seven month,

0:02:47.044,0:02:49.024
for a non-violent offense.

0:02:49.024,0:02:52.056
I work in the sphere of Human Rights and I specifically focus on Russia,

0:02:52.056,0:02:55.012
and the rights of people in detention in Russia

0:02:55.012,0:02:58.000
so I am sure what the women in Pussy Riot are facing

0:02:58.000,0:02:59.028
in pretrial detention is horrendous.

0:02:59.028,0:03:01.048
I'm sure their conditions are awful,

0:03:01.048,0:03:03.008
and I want them out!

0:03:03.008,0:03:05.024
"Riot in Russia – Putin pissed on

0:03:05.024,0:03:07.008
Riot in Russia – we do exist

0:03:07.008,0:03:10.024
Riot in Russia – Riot, riot!

0:03:10.024,0:03:11.028
Riot in Russia – Come on the street,

0:03:11.028,0:03:12.084
Live on Red (Square)

0:03:12.084,0:03:15.044
Show freedom

0:03:15.044,0:03:17.092
Of the civil anger!"

0:03:17.092,0:03:22.016
Their names are Maria, Nadezhda and Katerina,

0:03:22.016,0:03:24.044
We're here to demand their release!

0:03:24.044,0:03:27.004
Immediate and unconditional release!

0:03:27.004,0:03:28.008
The second thing we are demanding is that

0:03:28.008,0:03:31.092
the charges of hooliganism immediately be dropped!

0:03:31.092,0:03:34.072
They need to investigate threats that have been coming

0:03:34.072,0:03:36.056
at these women and at their families!

0:03:36.056,0:03:39.004
All of these are human rights concerns,

0:03:39.004,0:03:40.072
and that's why we are here today!

0:03:40.072,0:03:42.088
People like him will never win!

0:03:42.088,0:03:46.024
In the end the human spirit will overcome

0:03:46.024,0:03:50.048
dictators like Putin!
