Image of a photograph of the female band Pussy Riot overlaid with an image of a raised fist with the text “Free Pussy Riot: No Pasaran! Destroy Patriarchy, End Religion, Fear Down the Prisons, Think For Yourself, Laugh at Patriotism, Ridicule Racism & Fuck Putin!” The sticker refers to the 2012 Pussy Riot’s “punk prayer” performance held at a Russian orthodox cathedral that criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin, for which the group was sentenced to two years in prison. The sticker serves as a human rights manifesto. Since the women were released, they have been speaking openly about the horror of Russian prison conditions.
