A fearless Madonna stood against government repression and for freedom of speech, taking the biggest stance a Pop Icon has taken in the imprisonment of the Russian Female Pop/Rock Band Pussy Riot, even after the U.S. Embassy’s warning of a possible attack on her MDNA Tour.
The young girls are facing up to 7 years in Prison for an anti Vladimir Putin performance and had pleaded Madonna to take a stance for their freedom. Madonna referenced the band covering her face up just as they did when they made their infamous performance that got them detained, as a message of liberation and a stance against repression and censorship.
Have No Fear.
