LONDON, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin said he hopes members of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot won't be judged too harshly for allegedly protesting in a church.
On a one-day trip to London, Putin said "there is nothing good in this" trial against Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 23, Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29, who are charged with hooliganism for allegedly staging the musical protest inside the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow in February, The Guardian reported.
