Russia's Pussy Riot trio found guilty of hooliganism

Three members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot have been convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, over a protest in a cathedral.

Judge Marina Syrova said the women had "crudely undermined social order" during their action in February.

The women have said their "punk prayer" was a political act in protest against the Russian Orthodox Church leader's support of President Vladimir Putin.

The BBC's Daniel Sandford looks back at the case.
