Family members say Pussy Riot member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova has gone missing after a prison transfer to an unknown destination after staging a hunger strike over "slavelike" conditions. Word has it that she is going to a prison in Alatyr, near Mordovia, though no one knows for sure. Her partner thinks her disappearance is a political move: "This is basically the only way they have to punnish Nadya," he says. "Let's cut her off from the outside world."
Earlier this year, Tolokonnikova was convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred after Pussy Riot staged an anti-Putin performance in a Moscow cathedral.
