A Russian judge on Friday said three members of the punk band Pussy Riot intentionally broke the law and were guilty of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, DPA reported.
"The defendants realized the insulting nature of their actions and their appearance," judge Marina Syrova told the Moscow court.
"Their intention was to draw the public's attention and to create a wide-reaching resonance, by not just insulting workers in the cathedral, but society at large, and they inflicted wide-reaching damage and offence to worshippers."
