ROGER WATERS: SUPPORTS PUSSY RIOT, ANTI PUTIN DEMONSTRATION, SUPPORTS PALESTINE/ISRAELI MEDIATION

Former PINK FLOYD main man ROGER WATERS has sent this statement in support of imprisoned Russian, feminist punk rockers PUSSY RIOT and also in favor of Palestinian and Israeli mediation via the RUSSELL TRIBUNAL.

Russian, feminist punk rockers PUSSY RIOT have allegedly fled RUSSIA upon band members conviction for "criminal hooliganism". PUSSY RIOT's conviction stemmed from an incident when the band protested Russian President Putin and stormed the alter in a Moscow church, and sung a provocative punk rock protest song.

Human Rights organization AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL have commented on the guilty verdict vs. Russian punk rockers PUSSY RIOT describing them as "political prisoners".PUSSY RIOT, stormed the alter in a Moscow Orthodox church, and sung a provocative punk rock protest song. Four members of the Russian band PUSSY RIOT stormed the alter in costume 2/21/2012 and sang "Virgin Mary, Get Putin Out." The stunt lasted less than a minute before the women were forcibly removed. PUSSY RIOT were charged with "criminal hooliganism" and sentenced to two years in prison in a Russian court.

FROM ROGER WATERS:
For all those of you who are concerned with the predicament of our brothers and sisters in Israel and Palestine, check out this link to The Russell Tribunal.

Also, a message for our friends in Russia.

We greatly respect your bravery and resolve. I was much encouraged by the anti Putin, pro Pussy Riot and Freedom demonstrations in Moscow yesterday, we are with you. There are more of us willing to stand up to errant authority, in the fight to create free societies with just laws, than there were yesterday, and there will be more tomorrow. Our numbers are growing.

Roger
