SILENCED   Members of the Russian punk bank Pussy Riot sit inside a detention box during their court appearance in Moscow on Friday.  A judge in the case – appointed to the bench by president Vladimir Putin – found band members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Yekaterina Samutsevich and Maria Alyokhina guilty of “hooliganism”  for a performance at Moscow’s main cathedral in February.  They were sentenced to two years in prison.  (Photo: Andrey Smirnov / AFP-Getty via The New York Times)
