Two members of the feminist punk performance-art group Pussy Riot who were convicted of religiously motivated hooliganism in August are being transferred to a penal colony to serve the rest of their two-year sentences.
One of the group's lawyers, Mark Feigin, said Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, might be bound for a women's penal camp in Mordovia, while Maria Alyokhina, 24, might be sent to a camp in Perm.
The Russian authorities have not yet said where the women will serve their sentences.
A third Pussy Riot member, 29-year-old Yekaterina Samutsevich, was also sentenced to two years in prison, but her sentence was suspended upon appeal earlier this month.
