Jailed Pussy Riot Member Settles Into New Prison Conditions
LatestAfter her family reported that she was missing and they had no idea where she had gone, jailed Pussy Riot member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova turned up in a penal camp in Siberia, which seemed like a bad omen. But on Wednesday night’s Al Jazeera program Consider This, host Antonio Mora spoke with her husband Pyotr Verzilov, who actually went to Krasnoyarsk, Siberia to see her and reports that things are looking up.
Verzilov and the rest of Tolokonnikova’s family did not know where she was for 26 days. “Obviously this super long prison transfer proces was basically the only way the government could somehow put some isolation on her case and will not allow her lawyers and her family to keep constant communication with her,” he told Al Jazeera.
