In New York City, members of the Russian protest group Pussy Riot dropped a banner and scattered hundreds of leaflets inside Trump Tower Monday, shutting down access to the building for about a half-hour. The activists’ banner read “Free Sentsov”—a reference to Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, who’s currently serving a 20-year prison term in a Russian prison on terrorism charges. His supporters say he’s innocent of any crime and was jailed over his criticism of Russia’s annexation of Crimea. Amnesty International has called for his release.
