Freed Pussy Riot members reunited
Two members of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot were reunited today after spending nearly two years in prison for their protest at Moscow’s main cathedral and said they want to set up a human rights organisation.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina were granted amnesty yesterday, two months short of their scheduled release, in what was seen as the Kremlin’s attempt to soothe criticism of Russia’s human rights record ahead of the Winter Olympics in Sochi in February.
