Protesters wearing balaclavas take part in an Amnesty International flash mob demonstration in support of the all women Russian punk band, Pussy Riot, in the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland on Tuesday. The demonstration is in support of the members of the group incarcerated in Russia and also to publicise the Amnesty International 'Stand Up For Freedom' comedy night, during this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Supporters of the jailed girl punk band "Pussy Riot" stage a flash mob on the steps of the same cathedral in Moscow where the band trio was arrested in February. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
