The international hacker group Anonymous announced their responsibility for hacking the web page of Khamovniki district court where Pussy Riot were sentenced to 2 years in prison each.

On the frontpage of the Khamovniki site there is the slogan "Putin's thieving gang robs our country! Wake up, comrades" and the music video 'Mrazish' by Bulgarian singer Aziz, a rather sleazy and erotic gay clip.

The site's page names have been renamed: there are now departments called "Liars and promisers", "Court practice is worse than ever." etc. They also placed a document on the page called "Information on the income of the Khamovniki district court in Moscow in 2011."

The court's press-secretary Darya Lyakh told Interfax specialists responsible for site maintenance are rebuilding the page.

Last Friday, Judge Syrova in Khamovniki district court sentenced Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich (members of the Pussy Riot feminist punk group) to 2 years in prison each, finding them guilty in hooliganism motivated by religious hatred.
