Pussy Riot appeal resumes under Putin shadow

One day ahead of the appeal hearing for the jailed Russian punk band Pussy Riot, Amnesty International says the group are 'prisoners of conscience' and a symbol of change in Russia. Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevich were convicted in August of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, and sentenced to two years in a prison camp. AFP
