Pussy Rioter in Solitary Cell Amid 'Tensions'

Pussy Riot member Maria Alekhina wasn't getting along with her fellow prisoners—so she's been moved to a cell of her own. Alekhina requested the transfer after "some tensions arose in relationships"; she moved "to prevent this situation from escalating," says a prison rep. Russian media have suggested that the prisoners were having religious arguments, but the rep says that's not true. The spokeswoman wouldn't comment on a tabloid news site's report claiming Alekhina's cellmates made violent threats, Reuters notes. (More Pussy Riot stories.)
