Pussy Riot. Events involving Russian activist punk band Pussy Riot have been called off in Dunedin in the wake of the terror attacks in Christchurch but it's hoped they will still perform on Sunday. It was hoped to reschedule the activities "with input from Pussy Riot'' at a later stage. An earlier Otago University event notice said the Otago department of media, film and communication studies was "delighted to host the ever-audacious Pussy Riot''. Pussy Riot had "embraced the charge of political 'hooliganism' mocking authoritarianism and placing themselves at the fore of universal feminist and humanist struggles", the earlier notice read.
