"We can confirm that three women, who were arrested by the police of Bern on the night of Tuesday, 30 August for drawing graffiti, were sentenced by the court's decision to pay a fine of 100 Swiss francs and 300 Swiss francs for procedural costs," Montavon said.
Last week, media reported that a complaint was filed against three members of Russian protest punk and performance art group Pussy Riot, Maria Alyokhina, Lusya Stein and Taso Pletner, for trying to paint an "anti-war" graffiti on a road curb.
Pussy Riot gained notoriety in 2012 when members of the group were arrested in Moscow after performing a provocative punk rock song in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Three members of the group - Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevich were convicted of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" and each sentenced to two years in prison.
