Jailed Pussy Riot Members Said to Face Harsh Conditions 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
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.
