MOSCOW--Two jailed members of punk band Pussy Riot have taken their case to Europe's top rights court, arguing that their rights to freedom of speech and a fair trial have been violated, their lawyer said Thursday.

“A complaint has been sent to the European Court of Human Rights over violations of the European Convention on Human Rights by the court which delivered the verdict,” defense lawyer Irina Khrunova told AFP.

The treatment of the young women during the trial amounted to torture, said Khrunova, who is representing Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina.
