Russian church pleads mercy for jailed musicians
The Russian Orthodox Church on Sunday urged clemency for three jailed band members who sang a "punk prayer" at Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral pleading for deliverance from President Vladimir Putin. The appeal hearing looms, with fate uncertain as church officials tread a cautious line between condemnation and leniency. The trio Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, aged 22 to 30, were jailed for hooliganism driven by religious hatred after the protest during Putin’s rise to a third term. Their families face a grim wait amid mixed statements from government and church leaders.
