“Two members of the Russian protest group Pussy Riot were attacked by a group of men who poured rubbish and bright green paint over them and shouted obscenities at them at a McDonald’s restaurant.
A video, uploaded by the group on Thursday, shows at least three men attacking Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, shouting “[Go] to America!” and shooting paint into their faces from syringes in the city of Nizhny Novgorod.
“It hurts! Why are you doing this?” Tolokonnikova says, with green stains on her face and hands. “You don’t have the right to hurt me. Please don’t do that to anyone anymore.””* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

Comments
You need to qualify the comment about “attacked by […] not authorities.” They were attacked by people in plain clothes who were not acting in authoritative roles and who we have no direct evidence are “authorities,” but we do NOT know who they are.
