Pussy Riot says member 'doing better' after transfer to Berlin hospital for suspected poisoning

Members of the punk protest group Pussy Riot say one of their bandmates is doing “better” after being transferred to a Berlin hospital for treatment of a suspected poisoning.

Pyotr Verzilov was hospitalized in Moscow last week after losing his sight, hearing and mobility in what friends believe was a poisoning.

A human rights group based in Germany paid to transport Verzilov to Berlin’s Charite hospital, where he arrived by medical transport plane on Saturday, according to Reuters.

Pussy Riot member Veronika Nikulshina told Reuters that the doctors at the new hospital are “great.”

“He’s better. Everything is okay,” she said, but did not comment further.
