Free Politzeki protest for Pussy Riot
Photograph of a protest taking place outside the Russian Embassy in London in support of the members of the Russian punk rock band Pussy Riot, who were arrested in March 2012 on accusations of ‘hooliganism motivated by religious hatred’ after they staged a performance at The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. This demonstration was organised by the English Centre and took place on 30 September 2012. The ‘Free Politzeki’ slogan printed on banners used at the protest translate to ‘Free Political Prisoners’.
