Punk-Rock Group ‘Pussy Riot’ Members Sent to Siberia Prison

Two members of the Russian’s feminist punk-rock group Pussy Riot, who hit headlines recently because of their protest against Vladmir Putin policies, were sent to Siberia's harsh labor camps after losing their appeals on October 10.

Maria Alyokhina (24) and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova (22) were sentenced to two years in jail. The third group member, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was freed on probation and her sentence suspended.
