Two members of Pussy Riot, Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, were detained by police near the Olympic events in downtown Sochi on Tuesday.
Alekhina and Tolokonnikova were detained with several other people who had been held in connection with a theft that had occurred at the hotel they'd been staying in.
Here are the women getting into a cab after their release.
