Freed Members of Pussy Riot Plan to Start Prisoners Rights Group, Say They Aren't Pussy Riot Anymore

In their first press conference since being released from prison Dec. 23, two members of the group Pussy Riot said Friday that they planned to form a human rights organization focusing on the protection of prisoners.

Billboard reports that Nadezhda Tolokonnikova andMaria Alyokhina told reporters in Moscow that they will call the group "Zona Prava" – which translates to "justice zone" – and that they hope to collaborate with former tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who was also freed last week after serving a 10-year jail term.
