Welcome to the Russian Olympics where beatings are the order of the day. For Pussy Riot, including Nadia Tolokonikova and Masha Alyohkina, who were poised to sing a song satirizing President Vladimir Putin in Sochi during the games yesterday, it is one more trial run going up against one of the world's strong men.
Beaten, thrown to the ground and kicked, the women had been arrested a day earlier while walking together on the street involving a theft at their hotel. Like their new non-profit to work for prison reform, one might ask, "Where is the Justice Zone?"
So far, authorities have avoided making the same judgment call that led to a worldwide outcry for their performance in a Moscow cathedral that led to a two-year prison sentence.
