A court in Russia has sentenced four members of protest group Pussy Riot to 15 days in jail for invading the pitch at the World Cup final in Moscow.
The pitch invasion took place early in the second half of France’s 4-2 victory, with one protester seen embracing Les Bleus forward Kylian Mbappe while another was wrestled to the ground by Croatia’s Dejan Lovren.
Notorious for their imaginative costumes and explosive demonstrations, Pussy Riot’s members are staunch critics of Russian president Vladimir Putin, calling for judicial, educational and cultural reforms in the country.
