Pussy Riot members among thousands freed by Russian amnesty

Yea, yeah. Freed. But Putin is still the most evil leader in the world:

They’re not pirates. They’re not hooligans. The Arctic 30, an international group of Greenpeace activists and journalists arrested in September at an offshore oil platform in Russia’s Arctic waters, are no longer accused criminals.

Charges against all members of the group are being dropped by Russia, and the 26 non-Russians among them will be free to return to their homelands. Russia’s parliament on Wednesday approved by a 446-0 vote an amnesty that’s expected to affect thousands of prisoners and accused criminals, also including the two jailed members of Pussy Riot. The amnesty coincides with the 20th anniversary of Russia’s constitution and with the lead-up to the Winter Olympics Games, which Russia is hosting in February.

They are still persecuting the HELL out of gay people, though.

Man, I'm so fucking pissed at Vlad Putin. Tell you what. I'll give $500 to ANYONE who can prove they slapped him upside that ugly head of his during the Olympics.
