Pussy Riot Member Maria Alyokhina Released From Jail In Russia Under Amnesty Deal


MOSCOW, Dec 23 (Reuters) - A member of Russian punk band Pussy Riot, Maria Alyokhina, walked free from jail on Monday under an amnesty allowing her early release from a two-year sentence for a protest in a church against President Vladimir Putin.

"They've just released her," Pyotr Verzilov, the husband of fellow band mate Nadia Tolokonnikova, who is also due to be released under the amnesty, told Reuters. (Reporting by Alissa De Carbonnel and Lidia Kelly; Editing by David Brunnstrom)
