Second Pussy Riot Denied Parole: No Pasarán!

Today in Mordovia, Russia, a Supreme Court denied an appeal parole for a second Pussy Riot singer Nadezhda Tolokonnikova.

Dressed in a black t-shirt with the words "No Pasarán" (spanish for The shall not pass), Nadezhda refused to plead guilty for hooliganism even when this may have acted in her favor.

Pussy Riot case has become one of the most visible cases of suppression of free speech during the recent years generating reactions all over the world.

As a Venezuelan citizen living out of his country, I can relate with these brave women who, coincidentally, are using my language to express their powerful message... NO PASARAN!!
