Jailed singer Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, a member of the Russian protest band Pussy Riot, has vanished in the countryâs vast penal system, say her worried family.
The 23-year-old opponent of Russian president Vladimir Putin was moved after complaining about conditions at her previous jail in Mordovia, south-east of Moscow, but herwhereabouts are now unknown.
Her father Andrey said last night: "We don't even know which part of Russia she is now in. This is a kidnap."
The singer was jailed for two years after a protest in 2012.
