Russia's Supreme Court has criticised the guilty verdicts handed down to the two jailed Pussy Riot punk protesters and has ordered a review.
The announcement came just three months before Maria
Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova are due to be released from prison.
They were jailed in 2012.
The verdict did not include proof that they were motivated by hatred towards a social group, the Supreme Court said.
