Pussy Riot case to be reviewed in Russia


http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2013/12/pussy-riot-case-be-reviewed-russia-201312139263560723.html

This punk band was found guilty of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred in August 2012 following an impromptu protest against Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral.The Supreme Court said in a ruling published on Thursday that the lower courts overlooked the women's circumstances that would have allowed for more lenient sentences.

Do you think they deserve this sentence?

I think this is a very harsh punishment considering what they did. Hopefully the higher court will review their case and decide on a lesser punishment for them.

I agree i hope the higher court will make the right choice but then again nothing is for sure in the Russian society.
