Pussy Riot
by

Nadya Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot has been arrested. On Friday, Nadya Tolokonnikova and Katherine Nenasheva dressed in prison uniforms and were doing "regular duties" in public, such as sewing a Russian flag. While sewing the flag, Tolokonnikova was arrested. It appears as though Tolokonnikova was released shortly after the arrest. Speaking to Newsweek, Tolokonnikova said:

"They said it was illegal to sew in a public space, that we should do it at home. An agent said, 'It’s not a concentration camp, but there are limits."

Also according to Newsweek, the Moscow police said the pair were "committing a public nuisance."
