Pussy Riot member Yekaterina Samutsevich has retracted from the Moscow Chamber of Lawyers her complaint calling for disciplinary action to be taken against her former lawyers, Nikolai Polozov and Violetta Volkova.
Volkova announced the news on Twitter on Monday, writing simply "Samutsevich retracted her complaint from the APMO," Interfax reported.
Samutsevich, who was released early from her two-year sentence in October 2012 and given a suspended sentence after replacing Polozov and Volkova with a new lawyer, called for the lawyers' licenses to be revoked in November. At that time, she said they had failed to return her personal belongings, including her passport and a letter from the European Court of Human Rights, even after she'd filed a written request to get the items back.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
