Even though the Pitchfork staff seems to sit around waiting until it's time to hate everything they have ever liked, this article was worth reading.
For those who don't know, Pussy Riot, the Russian 'riot grrl' punk band, was recently arrested and sentenced to 2 years in jail for performing in protest of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
The story is pretty detailed so I will just link to their run down.

I find it hard to believe this sort of thing still happens but since it apparently still does, the more people who are aware the better.
