On 17 August 2012, the three members of the Russian Punk Band “Pussy Riots” have been sentenced to a 2 year prison punishment which is clearly unproportional, and displays to the whole world an unacceptable Russian way of the Rule of Law. It was transmitted live by European TV stations (many media people are somehow independent internally, and above all: the TV live broadcast is a tool of surfacial transparency, normally injuring the private sphere of people involved, but one can discuss about this).
