Three members of the anti-Kremlin punk collective Pussy Riot went on trial this week in Moscow for staging a protest at Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral. They face up to seven years in prison if convicted. While the Moscow Patriarchate has demanded harsh punishment for the defendants, Christian leaders of various denominations living outside of Russia feel that the charges are disproportionately harsh.
