MOSCOW (Reuters) - Pussy Riot punk band member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova has asked Russia's Supreme Court to throw out her conviction and two-year prison sentence, her lawyer said on Thursday.
Tolokonnikova and two bandmates were found guilty of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred for bursting into Russia's main cathedral and belting out a profanity-laced "punk protest" against Vladimir Putin in February 2012.
