Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, the two remaining jailed members of Pussy Riot, have been transferred to prison colonies hundreds of miles from Moscow to serve the remainder of their sentence.

According to Rolling Stone, which cites a statement of Pussy Riot’s lawyer Mark Feygin, Alyokhina, 24, and Tolokonnikova, 22, were moved over the weekend from their previous post in Moscow, where they had been held since March.

He was informed by authorities that Alyokhina was transferred to the Perm region in the Urals, while Tolokonnikova was transferred to the central province of Mordovia. Neither location has been confirmed by the Pussy Riot members, Rolling Stone reports.

Alyokhina and Tolokonnikova are currently serving a two-year sentence for what a Moscow judge referred to as “hooliganism.”

The court concluded that the band members "expressed hatred and hostility" toward Russian Orthodox believers when, dressed in brightly colored dresses and balaclavas, they performed a "punk prayer" in Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral on February 21st asking the Virgin Mary to rid Russia of President Vladimir Putin.

A third member of Pussy Riot, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was also convicted, though she was freed earlier this month on appeal.
