Pussy Riot Appeal Hearing Adjourned

Hearing rescheduled for October 10

(Reuters)—A Russian court on Monday adjourned an appeal hearing for three members of the Pussy Riot punk band against their conviction for a protest against President Vladimir Putin in a church after one of the trio sacked her lawyers.

About a hundred people—Pussy Riot supporters in colourful T-shirts as well as mainly elderly Russian Orthodox Christians—filled corridors of the Moscow court and others stood outside.
