AFP - Jailed Pussy Riot band member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova is on her way to a new penal colony in Siberia, her husband said Tuesday, following fears after two weeks without information about her whereabouts.
Tolokonnikova, 23, who alleged major prison abuses in her previous colony in central Russia, is on her way to a new prison colony deep in the Krasnoyarsk region, her husband Pyotr Verzilov wrote on Twitter, saying the information comes from a reliable source.
The penal colony number 50 in the town of Nizhny Ingash lies about 300 kilometres (185 miles) from the regional centre Krasnoyarsk, four time zones away from Moscow and sitting on Russia's Trans-Siberian railway.
"Essentially, she is transferred 4,500 kilometres (2,800 miles) from central Russia to the heart of Siberia as punishment for the resonance of her letter" that alleged abuses, Verzilov added.
With just months left of her two-year term for performing a "punk prayer" in Russia's main Orthodox cathedral protesting ties between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Kremlin, Tolokonnikova had demanded to be transferred from her prior colony in Mordovia region.
She went on a hunger strike in protest of conditions she described as "slave labour" and constant harassment by colony administration. The strike ended when she started having health problems and was placed on a drip in the prison hospital.

Which ethos is that, the religious one? Or the ethos of collaboration with the communist State?
“So I’m lying.”
I didn’t say you were lying. You might very well think you did a search. Most people think typing something into google means they’ll get back what they are looking for when they need to enter the proper terms.
So, what exactly did you search for?
Searching google for “Nadezhda Tolokonnikova pregnant video” comes up with her video.
Pretty simple, really.
Was she arrested for that video?
In your second picture, all the groups of Christmas caroler are smiling.
“Was she arrested for that video?”
I don’t know that answer. Why don’t you try searching and finding out?
None of the articles I read on her said she was arrested for anything but the church disruption. I imagine it would have been mentioned. Hence she had ended up with some years in the gulag (a work prison in Siberia is the Gulag, even if the name has changed). How is this particularly different from the Soviet Union? Oh yea, you approve this time because the Orthodox Church is ok with it.
Meh.
You can slam Russia if you like, but I trust their media much more than I trust the mainstream media in our country.
Yeah, right!
Right now, in the US, we have “freedom” for queers to stage obscene parades, for muslims to teach and finance jihad, and for creeps to disrupt Roman catholic Masses. But our Bolshevik government spies on our Internet activities, and forbids any expression of Christianity in the military!!!!
The holy Orthodox Temple that those feminazi punksters desecrated had been DEMOLISHED by the Bolsheviks, and rebuilt in the post-communist era.

No wonder most Russians agree with Putin, and NOT with the “human rightsers” who champion the cause of Pussy Riot!!!!
These young women should repent, be reconciled with Holy Church, and FADE from the news headlines!!!! Then they will receive eternal salvation, but the “human rightsers” and pseudo-libertarians will be thwarted!!!!
You’re right!
Only after the video of their song criticizing corrupt relationship between Putin and Russian Orthodox Church (Church said before the election that God wants Putin to rule Russia and protesting against the government is blasphemy) became famous in the internet did the police start a manhunt and they were sent to jail for two years. The whole trial was a joke, where for example the poor church guard had to testify how "he was disoriented and traumatized by the events and had nightmares".
Their protest was not a protest against believers. It was against the corruption and inappropriate ties to government in Russian Orthodox Church
