Opposition activist Denis Styazhkin tapes the mouth of a statue during a flashmob protest in support of female punk group Pussy Riot in Russia's Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, August 25. Two members of the group have fled Russia, three others were sentenced to two years in jail for hooliganism.
Two members of Russia's anti-Kremlin punk band Pussy Riot have fled the country to avoid prosecution for staging a protest against Putin at a church altar, the band said on Sunday.A Moscow court sentenced three members of the all-female opposition band to two years in prison on Aug. 17 for staging a "punk prayer" at the Christ the Saviour Cathedral in February and calling on the Virgin Mary to rid Russia of Putin.
The sentence drew sharp international criticism of the Russian government, while opposition groups at home have portrayed it as part of a Kremlin clampdown on dissent.
