The Russian punk band Pussy Riot says two members wanted by Russian authorities have fled the country to escape arrest.
The feminist band tweeted on Sunday that two band mates were currently “recruiting foreign feminists to prepare for new actions.”
Pussy Riot’s three other band members were convicted earlier this month on charges of “hooliganism” and are currently serving a two-year jail sentence.
They were arrested after performing a song inside Moscow’s main cathedral in February that ridiculed President Vladimir Putin and his close ties to the Orthodox church.
