Pussy Riot found guilty, sentenced to two years in jail

by Tyler Munro

The verdict is in, and while it’s not the seven year sentence that was first being tossed around, Pussy Riot‘s been found guilty of hooliganism—seriously—with Reuters reporting that Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevich have been sentenced to two years in jail.

We’ll remind you here that this is for staging a pretty harmless protest—you can read a good primer over at Gawker for all the details on the case prior to the sentencing.
