Two members of the Russian feminist art collective Pussy Riot, released from prison in December under an amnesty by President Vladimir Putin, will widen their campaign for better prison conditions with a visit to the U.S. next month.
Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova will appear at a concert organized by Amnesty International, Amnesty said in a statement. They will travel to New York on Feb. 4, they said in a Jan. 20 interview in Singapore, during their first trip abroad since walking free on Dec. 23.
