Moscow - British MP Kerry McCarthy has said she was unpleasantly surprised by the course of the trial in the Pussy Riot case. 

Addressing reporters after Monday's hearing, she said she couldn't understand why the judge had refused to summon defense witnesses and experts.

She said she had been surprised by what she saw: all of the defense pleas were rejected and it was unclear how lawyers were able to defend the defendants under those circumstances.

British courts normally grant such pleas, the MP said.

McCarthy was surprised that the defendants had been refused confidential meetings with their lawyers.

The exhausting schedule of the hearing was also an unpleasant surprise to her.

McCarthy is a Member of Parliament and deputy foreign minister for human rights in Britain's "shadow cabinet". Her interpreter explained that she had come to Moscow to observe the Pussy Riot trial.

Pussy Rot are fascist-marxist GENOCIDE supporters.

Pussy Rot is anti-humanitarian. They attacked a persecuded people's sacred house of worship. A people, Christians, were murdered in genocide, 60 million of them under Marxist USSR, then this gang of media terrorists, funded no doubt by foreign agency NGO's, desecrates the sacred building of a people who have suffered genocide.

Pussy Rot songs are about the glory of Bolshevik mass murder.

Christians were persecuted by Marxist USSR and suffered GENOCIDE.

Instead of Church of Christ the Saviour, what if they poured urine on the buildings at Auschwitz, then laughed about it?

Would it have been "humanitarian" if they desecrated Auschwitz?

What if they dumped urine and feces on the buildings of Dachau? Would they then be defended by ECHR for their "human rights"? Since when is desecrating the building of a people who suffered genocide a moral act?

Attacking a monument of genocide (Church of Christ the Saviour) is not a humane act, the Christians were genocided in the USSR. What if they sang Nazi songs at Auschwitz?

65 million Russian (and Ukrainian, Belorussian, Lithuanian) Christians were genocided by the Bolshevik Marxists that Pussy Rot glorifies.

Pussy Rot should be hunted down by InterPol, arrested and sentenced to 10 years for HATE CRIMES.

What they did, sing song glorifying the genocide of the HOLODOMOR is illegal in Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Lithuania.

Once arrested by InterPol they should be extradited to Ukraine to face 10 years in prison for their Crimes Against Humanity.
