Footage of feminist rockers Pussy Riot’s
irreverent protest against President Vladimir Putin in Moscow’s main
cathedral last year has been banned in Russia and must be removed from
the country’s Internet, the Associated Press reports.
Moscow City Court on Wednesday rejected
band member Yekaterina Samutsevich’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling in
November, meaning that its ban of the video now takes effect.
Samutsevich said the decision amounted to censorship and vowed to fight on.
Pussy Riot shot to global fame last year
after three band members, including Samutsevich, were convicted in
August on charges of “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred” for
their “punk prayer” against Putin’s return to the presidency.
