From Madonna Aug 18th, 2012

August 18, 2012
"I protest the conviction and sentencing of Pussy Riot to a penal colony for two years for a 40 second performance extolling their political opinions. Even if one disagrees with the location or how they chose to express themselves, the sentence is too harsh and in fact is inhumane. I call on all those who love freedom to condemn this unjust punishment. I urge artists around the world to speak up in protest against this travesty. They've spent enough time in jail. I call on ALL of Russia to let Pussy Riot go free."

(first of all i would like to say sorry for my english but I'm itaian so I know it'll be few mistakes). Actually that was a process, but the point is that it last just a month: in a few words, it yet was been decided that they had to go to jail. Like Madonna said in Nice -Let those girls and all Russia hear you: FREE PUSSY RIOT-

Free The People
The Russian Politicians should be reminded that Marie Antoinette at least had a trial before going to the Guillotine in France 1775AD..When do we come out of the Dark Ages of existence?..Alan

Antara Yes, they've got true trial. And if you were in tact with the russian people opinions you would wish them 2 years of jail instead of Lynch's court which they do get if the police sets them free

DESPICABLE ACTIONS
I find this is a typical example of the ELDER trying to overlap the YOUNG in countries where corruption and lack of tolerance play a very important role in the development of their societies. Maybe that is the reason why other countries have succeeded not only economically but also morally. Pussy Riot should not have been convicted to or for anything. They should have made other type of HEADLINES in the media for creating controversy and making others think. They did nothing bad. Politicians do it all the time in their campaigns and nothing happens.

Artistic freedom is a matter where the history and future point. Art is the placing of the word and the different perspectives brought among the people. It is a power reserve that we run every time we need. If this is allowed, this can not go landslides stone that breaks the transparency to be honest interpreter of art. So it's important to have a free and Pussy Riot Shows we accept this oppression.

I am Russian
I am Russian. And i wrote 3 comments here, no one was published. My comments didn't contain nor harsh words but opposite maybe objectionable opinion, so what freedom of speech are you talking about? I believe that Madonna's words about freedom is not only the words. And I believe that she will hear me. Other way i think you'd lost your right to calling Russian people with your appeals.

I do not agree
Your feelings I can understand and I'm sorry that in St. Petersburg (Russia) you have awarded such a large fine. However, inhumane action of the group Pussy Riot in respect of many of the millions of Christians. For 40 seconds they defiled the temple, they humiliated religion and touched upon the feelings of many people. When you want to do PR on this issue, do not assume that all people in Russia support You. I respect your work and I hope that the wisest artists will create not only what is fashionable. Thank you

I'm sorry but...
Colonel Putin, a man of honor. Not a humanitarian philosopher.

I protest against your protest. They did same performance many times , and there was not any official reaction. But finally they broke all red lines. They just expirienced stability distrubtors, for example Pussy Riot leader made public orgy being pregnant on 9th month. Not not question of politics, it question of new way to make terror, moral terror. And sociaty must prevent this kind of actions.
