    Two Pussy Riot members ‘seek asylum in Sweden’

    Russian refugees?

    I think Pussy Riot is why Putin stopped protecting gays in Russia. Pussy Riot pissed Putin off, Putin had them arrested, the LGBT community protested so Putin lifted his protection.

    Reports from Sweden say that two members of Pussy Riot have sought asylum in the country, complaining of persecution in their home country, Russia.

    The pair from the protest punk group revealed the news to national broadcaster SVT, according to The Local Sweden.

    Lusine Djanyan and Alexei Knedlyakovsky (whose name also appears as Aleksej Knedljakovskji) are said to be living in a home for asylum seekers in Lindesberg along with their son, awaiting a decision from the Swedish Migration Agency.

    The report says they have been in the country for 10 months and are hoping for a ruling soon.

    Pussy Riot achieved overnight fame in 2012 after a performance in a Catholic church in Moscow mocking President Vladimir Putin. Three members were arrested, with two of them jailed for two years for "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred".

    Artwork by Djanyan and Knedlyakovsky was reportedly included in an "Inside Pussy Riot" exhibition put on display late last year at London's Saatchi Gallery.

    In late 2016 Knedlyakovsky was one of two activists jailed for 15 days for allegedly attaching a wooden crucifix to a memorial to a Soviet era secret police chief.

    They are white, unlikely to be accepted.

    I fully agree with this so long as they're confined to the areas with the other refugees. They should get on great.

    Plain idiocy. Provoke, commit crime and then claim you're being persecuted. I don't see this being much different than the person who claimed he can't go back to his home country because he committed a crime and would be killed if he went back.

    You are crazy or misinformed of the timeline if you believe that.

    Are you this 'Russian minority' I keep hearing about from the Russian government?
    Breaking laws is not always inmoral.

    No idea what you're talking about as I'm Swedish.

    Asylum is not for people who have broken the laws in a country and seek to escape prosecution. That's not persecution.

    No. Say a US reporter found out Trump was embezzling money from the government and reported on it. The story is spread all over the evening news. Trump has the reporter locked up. The reporter escapes with the help of friends and winds up in Sweden. I bet the Swedish government would grant him asylum.

    Just because your government says you committed a crime doesn't mean you committed a crime.

    They have friends around the world. They'll get asylum somewhere, and a platform.

    For example, a band called KMFDM has an album Kunst, on which is a song called Pussy Riot, specifically in support of Pussy Riot. If nothing else, they'll be able to tour with KMFDM.

    As for the comments about committing crimes in your home country, that's the point of asylum.

    You don't get housed in migrant sections(those are not even a thing), asylum seekers go to asylum centers.

    All political asylum seekers flee because they have broken laws, are you not familiar with the concept of a law not being just on themselves?

    You have an internet, and I assume it has a google, and I assume it can YouTube. Go.

    I don't listen to terrible music, and I already got conned into hearing fifteen seconds of a Pussy Riot song, so by association I can assume this is something I don't want.
