Pussy Riot gets a surprise rearrest as soon as they're released from jail for World Cup stunt

Pussy Riot members rearrested after leaving prison

A little over two weeks ago, Russian feminist protest group Pussy Riot was arrested for crashing the field at the World Cup final wearing police uniforms. They were protesting illegal arrests. After serving 15 days in jail for their “crime,” they were released, but then, to their surprise, were immediately arrested again. Looking at this video, it’s obvious they weren’t expecting this.

Their crime this time? According to The Guardian:

A tweet on Pussy Riot’s official Twitter page said they had been charged with “the organisation and holding of public events without prior notice” and could face another 10 days behind bars.

Here they are at the world cup:
