Madonna brings more controversy to her MDNA tour- this time in support of band Pussy Riot. You're watching ClevverMusic. Madonna is currently on her MDNA tour right now, hitting up Russia this week. At her show in Moscow yesterday, she spoke out about the three jailed members of the Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot calling the women "courageous".
The Pussy Riot girls have been jailed for five months for singing a song called "Virgin Mary, drive Putin away!" while wearing ski masks and dancing in Moscow's main cathedral. This was just two weeks before Vladimir Putin won Russia's presidency for the third time. The girls now face 7 years in jail.
Madonna appeared on stage at her concert in Moscow with "Pussy Riot" stenciled on her back. Before going into "Like a Virgin" in the girls honor, Madonna expressed her feelings on the International story, "I think they paid the price and I pray for their freedom. They deserve the right to be free." Madonna also wore a ski mask in her performance to further her point.
Some think the Pussy Riot girls should be punished more and many human rights groups are appalled at their treatment and demand they be released. In the wake of Madonna' support for the girls, her next two concerts in Russia have been put on high security alert for US citizens in Russia planning on attending the shows. The US Consulate General in St. Petersburg, Russia has received information regarding a threat of physical violence against spectators.
This takes Madonna's support to a whole new level, now threatening innocent bystanders. What do you think of Madonna getting involved in this Russian controversy?
