News that Nadezhda Tolokonnikova of the Russian female punk rock band Pussy Riot has been sent to a new prison comes just after her husband said he had not heard from his wife in days.
Tolokonnikova’s family was told they would know her new location within 10 days of the arrival, according to Interfax news agency.
Tolokonnikova went on a hunger strike in September in protest of prison conditions, and was hospitalized.
