Two former members of the all-female Russian punk band Pussy Riot were detained in central Sochi on Tuesday, the husband of a member told CNN.
Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova were recently released from prison, ahead of the Sochi Olympics.
The two were near the seaport, meeting journalists, when police took them in, Tolokonnikova's husband said.
Local police have not yet confirmed the detention.
The pair was planning to record a song in English called 'Putin will teach you love the homeland.'
Tolokonnikova posted photos to Twitter of what she claims is herself in a car being taken to a police station.
Alyokhina posted a tweet saying they had had been detained near the church of Mikhail the Archangel and were accused of committing a crime. Officers forced them into a police van, she said.
Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina, who are highly critical of President Vladimir Putin, went to Sochi to protest against the lack freedom of speech in Russia.
The former band members were thrown in jail for nearly two years after they were convicted of 'hooliganism' and inciting religious hatred for performing a riotous punk song slamming Putin in a Moscow Cathedral -- and posting a video of it online.
A third member of Pussy Riot, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was released in 2012.
In February, other members of the band distanced themselves from Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina.

Earlier in the day, band members Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova were meeting with journalists when police detained them, according to Tolokonnikova's husband, Petr Verzilov. Russian media corroborated the report.
'They were put to the floor and beaten and physical force was used to them when they refused to be questioned without the presence of their lawyer, who was on his way to the police department,' Verzilov told reporters.
'Unbelievable lawlessness, even we are amazed,' tweeted Tolokonnikova. 'Beat on the floor of the department, in the Olympic capital!'
Invoking the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin, she added, 'They dragged me on the floor in the hall of the department, hands tied behind back and thrown to the floor. Putin will teach you to love the motherland!'
She said they would file a complaint with the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.
The two women had been walking down a street accompanied by the journalists, three other members of Pussy Riot who use pseudonyms, and two local activists, when a gr
