Pussy Riot has been sentenced in Russia two years in Russia for this and there has been an international outrage. Many artists have showed their support, among them Rambo Amadeus and Madonna:
“What we need now is a creative sentence solution!” says Rambo
Amadeus after hearing the guilty verdict in Pussy Riot case. ”Obvious
punishment would be a 100 Euro fine, but as we all know, there are no
Euros in Russia. So I suggest Putin to order Pussy Riot to hold a
concert together with Buranovskie Babushki. Maybe even a nation-wide
tour.”
Also Madonna commented : "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."
