After releasing a pair of tracks earlier in the week, Pussy Riot have returned with a third new song.
Titled "Unicorn Freedom," the group's latest is dedicated to Anya Pavlikova, an 18-year-old Russian girl currently facing 10 years in prison after being arrested by the PSB.
Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolokonnikova wrote about the case in an open letter on Facebook.
"What did Anya do? She and her 19-years-old friend Maria Dubovik, joined a Telegram chat that's been critical of Vladimir Putin," she wrote. "Participants of the chat would meet at McDonalds and talk about boys, exams and politics... Anya Pavlikova is the youngest of them, she was 17-years-old when police came to her room covered with unicorn pictures... 18-years-old is facing 10 years in jail for talking."
Tolokonnikova's letter also calls for the freeing of Oleg Sentsov, a Russian political prisoner who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence and has been on a hunger strike for more than 70 days. Pussy Riot had previously sang about Santsov on "Nightmares" earlier this week.
Pussy Riot made headlines earlier this month for their World Cup demonstration.
