Peter Verzilov of Pussy Riot out of hospital after recovering from poisoning
After confirming last week that fellow member Peter Verzilov was indeed poisoned, the protest punk group Pussy Riot have now confirmed that Verzilov has been discharged from the hospital in Germany where he was receiving treatment.
“Peter feels great, and they're kicking him out of the hospital,” Pussy Riot wrote on Twitter. A representative for the collective confirmed to Pitchfork that Verzilov left the hospital on Wednesday.
German doctors confirmed last week that Verzilov had been poisoned in Moscow, where he’d been hospitalized on September 12 after showing symptoms that included loss of sight, speech, motor skills, and memory the day before. While doctors said that it was "highly plausible" he was poisoned, they stressed that they can't say how this might have occurred or who was responsible.
