Madonna about ***** Riot being whipped by police in Russia!
Madonna has spoken out about ***** Riot being whipped by police in Russia yesterday (February 19).
The Ray Of Light singer has long supported the group, and recently introduced ***** Riot’s Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina (pictured right with the singer) at an Amnesty International concert in New York.
Writing on Instagram earlier today (February 20), Madonna said: “Are you kidding me? Are the police in Russia actually whipping ***** Riot for making music on the streets?
“Is this the dark ages? GOD bless P. R. They are fearless! #artforfreedom #revolutionoflove.”
***** Riot were struck with horsewhips by Russian police in Sochi yesterday (February 19) as they tried to start an impromptu performance under a sign advertising the Winter Olympics in Sochi – watch a video of the incident here.
well if she really wants to be revolutionary why doesnt she go there and take action? i mean i can write whatever i want through instagram.....
She went there in 2012 when ***** Riot were arrested, took action and openly supported them and gay rights/equality during her concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg, so
Not too much on Madge. Sure she's not in the streets physically standing in between the police and P* Riot, but she's using her platform to bring awareness to what is going on in Russia, which is a lot more than many others are doing.
