The court should show clemency while reviewing the appeal on the sentence of the three jailed members of punk band Pussy Riot, if the women show remorse, the Russian Orthodox Church said. Expressions of remorse on their part would indicate that they are on a path to rehabilitation, Vladimir Legoyda, the head of the church's press service said.

A Russian court sentenced the three members of the controversial band to two years in prison for inciting religious hatred. The women pleaded not guilty.

The court will consider an appeal on the sentence tomorrow.
