Pussy Riot jailed for two years - Friday 17 August | World news | guardian.co.uk
Three members of Punk feminist protest band Pussy Riot have been found guilty of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred in a Moscow court after their performance in February inside a Russian Orthodox cathedral .
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 23, Maria Alekhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29 were sentenced to two years in prison - the minimum sentence for such an offence open to the courts.
In sentencing the judge argued that bands' feminist beliefs were part of encouraging religious hatred.
There were protests outside the courts and world chess Grand Master, turned politician Gary Kasparov was arrested along with opposition politician, Sergei Udaltsov.
Amnesty and Human Rights watch have both condemned the verdict whilst the Russian Orthodox church has called on the government to show "mercy".

I don't think they should have been jailed, but what they did was extremely disrespectful. It is just wrong to go into a church and say things like they did. Whether you are religious or not, you should respect the church when you are in it.
