| Subject: Pussy Riot: Degenerate and corrupt Moscow district court found four of the group’s videos to be extremist Thu Jan 31, 2013 4:21 am | |

The judge at the Moscow City Court decided not to examine a complaint challenging a previous ruling by freed band member Yekaterina Samutsevich, the Interfax news agency reported.
That left no further legal challenges to a November ruling by a Moscow district court that found four of the group’s videos to be extremist.
It is an offence to distribute or publish anything from the Russian Justice Ministry’s blacklist of extremist materials, but it is not yet clear how the ban will be implemented. Advertisement
