Russian 'Pussy Riot' Punks Remain in Prison
Three members of female punk group Pussy Riot, who derided Russian President Vladimir Putin in a protest in Moscow's main Christ the Saviour Cathedral, had their spell in jail extended by six months on Friday, July 20.

But some Orthodox believers have called for tough punishment for an act they regard as blasphemous. Footage and photograph courtesy of Reuters.
