le groupe de musique Pussy Riot a écopé de deux ans de prison pour avoir critiqué le chef suprême russe Vladimir Poutine. la juge a affirmé qu’avec sa performance dans une église orthodoxe, le groupe avait commis un acte haineux à l’égard d’un groupe religieux (sans faire mention de Poutine…):
The court does find a religious hatred motive in the actions of the defendants by way of them being feminists who consider men and women to be equal.
An act of hooliganism can be understood as being driven by acts of hatred or degradation of any given social or national or religious group.
Therefore the charge of hooliganism can be sustained when a defendant has expressed open disrespect and defiance against the communally expected norms and the tastes of others.
merci au quotidien The Gardian pour la traduction du jugement. je déplore la perte de liberté apparente en Russie.

St. Maria, Virgin, Drive away Putin
Drive away! Drive away Putin!
(end chorus)
Black robe, golden epaulettes
All parishioners are crawling and bowing
The ghost of freedom is in heaven
Gay pride sent to Siberia in chains
The head of the KGB is their chief saint
Leads protesters to prison under escort
In order not to offend the Holy
Women have to give birth and to love
Holy shit, shit, Lord’s shit!
Holy shit, shit, Lord’s shit!
(Chorus)
St. Maria, Virgin, become a feminist
Become a feminist, Become a feminist
(end chorus)
Church praises the rotten dictators
The cross-bearer procession of black limousines
In school you are going to meet with a teacher-preacher
Go to class – bring him money!
Patriarch Gundyaev believes in Putin
Bitch, you better believed in God
Belt of the Virgin is no substitute for mass-meetings
In protest of our Ever-Virgin Mary!
(Chorus)
St. Maria, Virgin, Drive away Putin
Drive away! Drive away Putin!
(end chorus)
