Two Of Three Pussy Riot Appeals Rejected

A Russian appeals court has freed Yekaterina Samutsevich, a member of the Pussy Riot punk collective, on a suspended sentence. But the court rejected the appeals of the other two defendants, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, ruling that they must serve out their two-year sentences for a performance in a Moscow cathedral in February.
