Pussy Riot activist Pyotr Verzilov 'in hospital'
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45505064
Pyotr Verzilov, an activist with Russian protest group Pussy Riot, is reported to have been taken to hospital in a serious condition.
Relatives speaking to the Meduza website said they believed he may have suffered poisoning but there is no official word on his condition.
He reportedly fell ill after a court hearing on Tuesday for fellow Pussy Riot activist Veronika Nikulshina.
Mr Verzilov was one of the activists who invaded the World Cup final pitch.
The BBC has been unable to independently confirm the reports of Mr Verzilov's ill health.
Ms Nikulshina told Meduza that Mr Verzilov had complained of losing his sight, "then the ability to talk, then the ability to walk".
Mr Verzilov is married to Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, the Pussy Riot member who was sentenced in 2012 to two years in jail for a performance at a Moscow cathedral.
Ms Tolokonnikova tweeted: "Pyotr may have been poisoned. In the toxicology department in a very serious condition."
Maria Alyokhina, another Pussy Riot member who was jailed along with Ms Tolokonnikova, also tweeted that Mr Verzilov was in intensive care.
Meduza said Mr Verzilov was in the toxicology department of a hospital in Moscow's Sokolniki district.
It said Mr Verzilov's mother had not been allowed to see her son.
Mr Verzilov, who also holds Canadian citizenship, was part of the Voina performance art group with Ms Tolokonnikova before it split in 2009 and then acted as spokesperson for Pussy Riot during the 2012 trial.
He was jailed for 15 days this year along with three women activists after invading football's World Cup final in Moscow on 15 July wearing police uniforms.
They said the action, under the name of Pussy Riot, was a protest against human rights abuses in Russia.

Pussy Riot activist Pyotr Verzilov 'in hospital', by moron on Oct 6, 2018 12:39:45 GMT 1, www.standard.co.uk/news/world/oksana-shachko-death-cofounder-of-feminist-group-femen-found-dead-in-paris-a3895261.html
"Pussy Riot women disown husband as group's spokesman"
Verzilov, who speaks fluent English, has frequently spoken to media and stars. He met Madonna before her Moscow concert at which the star revealed the words "Pussy Riot" written on her back.
In the letter Tolokonnikova argued there was "no post of producer or promoter in an anarchic punk group. Any attempts to occupy this post are treacherous to punk and to Pussy Riot."
"It is absurd when a man speaks in the name of a feminist punk group,"
Verzilov, a member of the Voina (War) performance art group, has met stars including Madonna on behalf of the group, and recently travelled to the United States to collect a $50,000 peace prize for Pussy Riot from Yoko Ono.
"Pyotr Verzilov after our arrest seized representation and decision-making of Pussy Riot, which he could not do according to the group's ideology," wrote Tolokonnikova in the handwritten letter.
"The only person who can legitimately represent the group is a girl in a balaclava."
