YOKO & HER NEW BFFS PUSSY RIOT
Yoko Ono joined supporters calling for the release of three imprisoned members of Pussy Riot today in New York when she presented the LennonOno Grant For Peace to the husband of one of them, Reuters reports.
“I thank Pussy Riot in standing firmly in their belief for freedom of expression and making all women of the world proud to be women,” Ono said as she presented the grant to Pyotr Verzilov, spokesman and husband of the jailed Nadezhda Tolokonnikova; their four-year old daughter Gera; and the group’s Russian legal defense team.
