Pussy Riot Member Turns Up In Siberian Camp

posted in: Music News

The AP reports that Nadia Tolokonnikova, the imprisoned member of punk group Pussy Riot who went missing weeks ago, has been located at a Siberian prison colony.

Though her family had been told they would not know her whereabouts for several days as she was being transferred, the extended wait, on top of her outspoken criticism of her former prison and subsequent hunger strike, led to heightened fears for her safety.

Additional reports are that she has spoken to her husband from a hospital in Krasnoyarsk. She has ended her hunger strike and the reason for her hospitalization is unclear, though quarantine is apparently a standard practice for such transfers.
