Pussy Riot: Tolokonnikova 'missing in Siberia'

The husband and supporters of a jailed Pussy Riot band member are trying to find her in Russia's Siberian prison camp system on her 24th birthday.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova is being transferred to a different prison but her husband Pyotr Verzilov says he has heard nothing from her for 19 days.

He posted a photo of himself on Twitter from Nizhniy Ingash, a Siberian village where he thought she might be in jail.

She and another band member were jailed over a protest in a Moscow cathedral.
