Pussy Riot freed from detention in Sochi

Two members of the punk group Pussy Riot ran out of a police station in their trademark balaclavas after being released following several hours of questioning in Sochi, the host city of the Winter Olympics.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina, along with seven others, were held by police near Sochi’s ferry terminal, a popular area for fans celebrating the Olympics, and taken to a police station for questioning.

Police said they were questioned in connection with a theft at the hotel where they were staying. No charges were filed.
