Russian punk protest group Pussy Riot were beaten up by Russian Cossack militia using pepper spray and whips after trying to perform a protest song in Sochi.
The footage shows the members in ski masks and brightly coloured clothing being attacked by the militia and other security officials. The actual Russian police then showed up and did nothing to help.
Members of Pussy Riot have wound up in jail before pulling stunts like this, but are still clearly eager to fight Vladimir Putin’s human-rights-abusing government.
