1. Pussy Riot: BBC reports from Penal Colony 14

    Pussy Riot BBC News has posted a short clip showing the outside of Penal Colony 14, where Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, one of the two Pussy Riot members currently imprisoned, is being held.

    Noting that the camp was once part of Stalin’s gulag system, the BBC’s Daniel Sandford reports that the colony operates an open dormitory system, whereby murderers and other serious violent criminals are held in the same rooms as prisoners convicted of much lesser crimes.
