One of the two jailed members of Russian political opposition group Pussy Riot has said she is in solitary confinement after receiving death threats from other prisoners.
Maria Alyokhina, who with Nadezhda Tolokonnikova was imprisoned for performing a pro-gay, anti-Vladimir Putin song in a Moscow cathedral for two years, has revealed the harsh conditions where she is serving her sentence.
A third member of the group was also sentenced but released on appeal.
Speaking to an opposition newspaper, she said 'the essence' of the threats was 'if you remain in this unit you are dead', Yahoo.com reported.
Imprisoned at Corrective Labour Colony No 28 in the Perm Region, Alyokhina said she was 'the only one who went to rights activists, representatives of [Russia's] Public Monitoring Commissions' watchdogs.
