Madonna speaks up for the Riot Girls


Madonna has spoken out in support of the three members of Pussy Riot currently on trial in Russia. At her show in Moscow on Tuesday she told the audience: "I know there are many sides to every story, and I mean no disrespect to the church or the government, but I think that these three girls - Masha, Katya, Nadya - I think that they have done something courageous. I pray for their freedom". It is expected that the women will be given three year jail sentence, as requested by the prosecution earlier this week, but the judge in the case has decided to delay her decision, which has renewed hope that they may be freed.
