JAILED PUSSY RIOT ACTIVIST FREED

One of the members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot has been freed.

But the two others who were convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred have had their sentences upheld at an appeals court in Moscow.

The three were jailed for staging a protest against President Vladimir Putin inside Moscow's main cathedral in February.

Yekaterina Samutsevich - who's been freed - says she had no idea of the global storm they'd created.
