Pussy Riot's Nadezhda Tolokonnikova calls for Olympics boycott

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, one of the jailed members of the Russian punk protest band Pussy Riot, has been released from a prison hospital in Siberia.

Her band mate Maria Alyokhina was freed earlier on Monday in Nizhny Novgorod.

Both have dismissed the amnesty as a PR stunt ahead of Russia's hosting of the Winter Olympics in Sochi in February.

Speaking after her release, she called for a boycott of the Sochi Games.
