By Hayley O'keeffe PUBLISHED: 06:02 EST, 24 December 2013 | UPDATED: 06:05 EST, 24 December 2013 Two members of the jailed Russian protest punk band Pussy Riot have vowed to set up a human rights organisation. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina were granted amnesty on Monday, two months short of their scheduled release. The move has been seen as the Kremlin's attempt to soothe criticism of Russia's human rights record ahead of the February Winter Olympics in Sochi.
