To: Vladimir Putin, President of Russia and President Donald Trump
Mr. President, please ask Vladimir Putin to free members of Pussy Riot from jail!
Please join us in asking President Barack Obama to demand the release of the members of feminist punk band "Pussy Riot" on the grounds that these young women were merely practicing their freedom of speech, and detaining them is unlawful and violates their basic civil rights and liberties.
Why is this important?
Russian authorities have arrested members of feminist punk band "Pussy Riot" for demonstrating inside Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Moscow. These young women were simply performing a song which called for Vladimir Putin's resignation. According to Russian authorities, the women have been accused of "hooligan-ing," and the state prosecutor is threatening to sentence them to three years behind bars. However, we all know that this is a mere attempt to censor free speech and suppress Putin's dissidents. Join us in telling Mr. Putin that his detainment and prosecution of these women is unlawful, inhumane, and violates both human and civil rights. These women were simply exercising their freedom of speech, and must be set free!
