(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.
