A video has emerged which shows members of punk band Pussy Riot being whipped, sprayed in the face, struck and thrown to the ground by Cossack militia after they attempted a performance under a sign advertising the Sochi Winter Olympics.
The video was posted by the Associated Press. It shows the band members don their balaclavas and gas masks, and attempt to being singing before they are swiftly attacked by the security staff.
