The husband of jailed Pussy Riot member Nadia Tolokonnikova says he has not heard anything from or about his wife for more than three weeks since authorities said she was being transferred to a prison colony deep in Siberia. Tolokonnivoka had denounced “slavery-like conditions” at the penal colony in Mordovia, east of Moscow, where she was previously held. Her husband said the new penal colony is nearly 3,000 miles away. He told the Los Angeles Times “the system is taking its revenge on her for her rebellion against its lawlessness. They are deliberately torturing her right now by such a long transit.”
