Re:publica Conference On Internet And Society

BERLIN, GERMANY - MAY 05: (L to R) Pyotr Verzilov, unofficial spokesperson of the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, Maria Alyokhina, founding member of the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, and Nadezhda Nadya Tolokonnikova, founding member of the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, attend the re:publica conference on May 5, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. The conference revolves around digital culture and society. The three founding members of the group Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in prison in 2012 after they staged an anti-Vladimir Putin protest at a church in Moscow, but were released prior to serving their sentences in their entirety. The group has appealed to erase its members' criminal records, but those efforts have so far not been successful. (Photo by Adam Berry/Getty Images)
