CHRONICLE AND PHOTOS OF THE RALLY IN THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY IN ARGENTINA – FREE PUSSY RIOT!
Yesterday, Wednesday January 16th, we developed a rally in front of
Russian embassy in Argentina, called by Las Piqueteras and the TPR as part of
the international solidarity day with María Alyokhina. Comrade Ximena Neira,
who militates in defense of the political prisoners in Russia, read a letter in
Russian demanding Putin´s government freedom for them. After that, Argentinian
Madonna´s Fans Club´s president express the commitment of that singer in the
struggle for get Pussy Riot free. Finally, Juan Marino, on behalf of the TPR,
and Daiana Asquini from Las Piqueteras spoke. The rally was covered by Crónica
(Argentinian news channel) and by Reuters, the international news agency.
Nikolay Shelepov, the First Secretary of the Embassy, received informally
the representatives of the rally. On behalf of Russian Embassy, he denied a
formal meeting, not even to certify he received the press release and the
letter in Russian given by the organizers. He even dared to justify Pussy Riot
imprisonment saying they had made disturbances in an Orthodox Church.
Cristina´s government deployed a large anti-riot operation, with dozens
of policemen, two trucks, motorcycles, hydrant trucks and a lot of fences in
the Embassy´s corners. This shows the international policy of kirchnerism:
while Cristina didn’t say a word supporting the claim of freedom for Pussy Riot
and all political prisoners in Russia, she militarizes the Embassy to bully
fighters and to defend Putin´s government.
The rally in Argentina was part of the demonstrations all around the
world repudiating the judgment of the court who decided to keep María Alyokhina
in jail. We have to step up in our efforts to boost popular mobilization and
achieve freedom for Pussy Riot and all political prisoners in Russia.
