The Russian Supreme Court has ordered a review of the case against two members of the punk band Pussy Riot, saying lower courts failed to provide full evidence of their guilt and overlooked mitigating factors in sentencing them to two years in prison. The ruling could potentially lead to shorter sentences for Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 24, and Maria Alyokhina, 25, or even to a reversal of their convictions, although the latter is less likely.
