Tolokonnikova denied parole for refusing to take part in a beauty contest

The Supreme Court of Mordovia have rejected an appeal by punk band Pussy Riot’s Nadezhda Tolokonnikova against being denied parole. Therefore, the supreme court upheld the decision made by the Zubovo-Polyanskiy district court of the republic on 26 April 2006. [Note: this appears to be a typo, Tolokonnikova’s parole was denied on 26th April 2013]

The prosecution argued that Tolokonnikova did not deserve parole for reasons including her refusal to participate in the “Miss Sunshine” contest, which was held in the Mordovia’s colony number 14. In other words, her behaviour in prison cannot be considered impeccable.

“I do not accept blame for my actions. I do not see this as negative, as the colony argue, I see it as positive, because I have principles that I will defend,” the convict said, RIA Novosti reported.

Tolokonnikova intends to submit another application for parole.

Синдбад:

Let her sit and think… she’ll take part by the end of the year)))

Япоэт: (responding to above)

She can’t take part in any beauty contests without a chicken. [Note: this is a reference to a video released by the Voina group, closely linked to Pussy Riot, in which a woman (not Tolokonnikova) inserts a chicken into her vagina in a supermarket]

Светлый Эльф:

She was refused parole because she’s a hooligan who doesn’t accept her guilt.

Vladi:

Nah, it’s too meek for her. If they’d done it with their tits out… maybe then she’d have taken part.

Fastis:

Oh what… she had to take part in a competition? I thought that it was a voluntary event. It seems like a cheap reason to refuse parole… surely they could have come up with a better reason… like refusing to take part in Tundon Ilyamo celebrations for example, it’s a carnival that takes place in lots of Mordovian villages in the summer.

DIK:

What’s the legal procedure for a “beauty contest” in a penal colony? What protocol does it come under?

буся:

If she’d taken part, even if she’d won… that would have been the basis for the refusal.

bagimot:

Ah, fuck her. Next time, she’ll turn her brain on. If she doesn’t have any brains then she can stew on the bunks.

deavise:

She wouldn’t take part without a chicken, slut. [Note: see above]

varrynya:

Why the court’s decision from 2006??

Лучи Добра:

A lobotomy is the best way to deal with these sluts

granit46:

The funny thing is that she’d have been refused parole for taking part in the beauty contest too.

Моисей Сизов:

She wouldn’t dance to their music, respect. They love breaking people here.

Bona Fide:

We don’t need a fucking government like this!
