Moscow court has upheld convictions of the three Pussy Rioters but freed one of them for being less involved in the notorious cathedral action. "The appeals hearing, originally scheduled for last week, had been
delayed after Ms. Samutsevich, citing disagreement over legal strategy,
announced that she wanted to fire her lawyer and separate her defense
from the team representing the other two women in the band, Pussy Riot.
"The other women, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, and Maria Alyokhina, 24 —
both mothers of young children — were ordered to serve the remainder of
their original sentences, two years in a prison colony. Their lawyers
promised continuing appeals."
