A Moscow court has ruled that three members of a female punk band who performed a song denouncing Russian President Vladimir Putin in a cathedral would be remanded in custody for a further six months.
The three members of the band Pussy Riot, aged between 22 and 29, are to remain in pre-trial detention until January 12, the court said, following a recommendation from the prosecution. A date for the beginning of the trial is to be announced on Monday.
