Pussy Riot's Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, imprisoned in Russia, is "missing," her family says. The member of the punk rock protest group reportedly was being transferred to a new penal colony. But her husband and other family members say it's been days and they still don't know where she is.

According to Russian prison regulations, the Associated Press reports, the family was to be informed within 10 days of her arrival at a new penal colony. That time is up, and there's been no contact, her husband says.

Tolokonnikova, 24, was sentenced to prison after a protest performance by Pussy Riot in 2012 in the main Orthodox cathedral in Moscow. It was a profanity-laced protest against Russian President Vladimir Putin that occurred at the height of the 2012 presidential campaign. She and bandmate Maria Alyokhina were found guilty of inciting religious hatred and sentenced to two years in prison.

But Tolokonnikova hasn't taken her imprisonment quietly.

1. She got moved to another prison.

Don't think she liked the one she was in. You'll find that in Russian media.
