HeadlineOct 30, 2012

The two members of the Russian band Pussy Riot still behind bars have reportedly been sent to notoriously harsh prison camps to finish out their two-year terms. According to supporters, Nadya Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina are being placed in penal colonies known for having the worst conditions of all the possible facilities where they could have been jailed. Their prison is said to have insufficient medical supplies and no hot water despite subzero temperatures.
