Moscow - A Moscow court ordered on Friday that three young female members of the Pussy Riot punk group on trial for staging an anti-Vladimir Putin concert in Moscow's best known church should stay in jail until January.

The Khamovnichesky court ruled that the pre-trial detention of the trio – who have been under arrest since March – should be extended for another six months, satisfying a prosecution request, an AFP correspondent reported. – Sapa-AFP
