A Russian court has sentenced three members of punk band Pussy Riot to two years each in prison for their part in an anti-Putin protest in Russia's main Orthodox cathedral. Around the world, people gathered to protest the court ruling.

The band's colored balaclavas, which band members wore at the church protest, became emblems of support for demonstrators. In addition to wearing them, activists draped statues in Moscow and in cities as far as Montpellier, France, with the balaclavas.

Many of the demonstrations took place in front of Russian embassies. Here is a collection of photos from some of the protests.
