Members of the all-girl band Pussy Riot -- Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich -- sit in a glass-walled cage during a court hearing in Moscow on Aug. 17. A Russian court handed down a guilty verdict and a two-year prison sentence on Friday for the three punk-rock dissidents, who captured global attention by ridiculing Russian President Vladimir Putin in a church. Rallies in defense of Pussy Riot and in condemnation of Putin's crackdown on free speech have stretched from Sydney to New York.
