The site of the Khamovnichesky District Court was defaced with anti-Vladimir Putin slogans and a video uploaded.

Three women were jailed on Friday for staging an anti-Putin protest in a Moscow cathedral in February.

In a message on the site, the attackers associated themselves with "hacktivist" group Anonymous.

"We are American group Anonymous. We don't forget and we don't forgive," said the post, in Russian.

"Justice system has to be transparent. Pussy [Riot's members] are alive," said another of the posts.

Hackers also uploaded a new song by Pussy Riot, called Putin is Lighting the Fires of the Revolution, and a video of a Bulgarian singer, Aziz.

A spokeswoman for the court said the attack had been discovered early on Tuesday and the site was temporarily taken down.
