Members of the all-female punk band Pussy Riot may be freed Monday at their scheduled hearing, a lawyer for the women said Sunday.
"I have information from the most reliable source that the girls will be freed," Pussy Riot lawyer Nikolai Polozov said, Interfax reported. My source said the following: concerning your case, it will be resolved favorably."
Polozov wrote earlier in Twitter that "Tomorrow after the hearing at the court on Pussy Riot something sensational awaits."
Polozov clarified that he does not have 100 percent assurance everything will happen according to plan. "But, judging by the fact that the source is very reliable, we have a very good chance," he said.
Political activist Alina Oraztsova offered similar news on Twitter, saying the band's lawyers had received a call from the Kremlin indicating the women would be freed.
"Lawyers for Pussy Riot said they received a call from the presidential administration and tomorrow they will free Pussy Riot," Oraztsova wrote on the micro-blogging site.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
