Protesters Call For Pussy Riot Release

A small but colourful demonstration in Washington against the imprisonment of members of the punk band Pussy Riot. It's been one year since the female rockers' impromptu protest performance in Moscow's main cathedral. Three band members were sentenced to two years in prison for `hooliganism'. One was later released on appeal. Jasmine Heiss from human rights group Amnesty International says the ruling was a blow for freedom of expression in Russia.
