Madonna voiced hope that three feminist Russian rockers Pussy Riot on trial for performing a Punk Prayer against Russian President Vladimir Putin will be released soon.

Campaigners are hoping that US pop diva Madonna will publicly express her support for three imprisoned members of the feminist punk collective Pussy Riot when she gives a concert in Moscow this week.

Three members of Pussy Riot – Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevich – face up to 7 years in prison if found guilty on charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred.

Pussy Riot showed their opposition to Russia’s President Vladimir Putin by playing their anthem ‘Holy S**t’ at Moscow’s Christ The Saviour Cathedral in February. The Pussy Riot group, who were wearing ski-masks, took over the pulpit and chanted ‘ Mother Mary, drive Putin away ‘. They women were rounded up by security guards less than a minute into the protest.

A jailed three members of Pussy Riot has spoken out about the their punk band’s arrest, insisting they did not mean to cause offence by performing a protest song in a church in Moscow. One of the Pussy Riot members Tolokonnikova insists the impromptu gig was staged in opposition to Vladimir Putin’s re-election campaign, and was not intended to insult Christians.

Madonna is about to be right in Moscow, on the next leg of her present world tour. The imprisoned Pussy Riot activists and their supporters are fervently hoping that the Queen of pop Madonna will use her Russian platform (Olimpiyskiy stadium) to make a strong statement in Russian band Pussy Riot’s support.

During the interview, Madonna also shared impressions about her MDNA world tour, saying that performing in London’s Hyde Park was really great. She said she also enjoyed the intimacy of it being able to be so close to her fans at a much smaller show in Paris’ Olympia Theatre.

Madonna said : ‘ Exercise is a really big part of my life, everybody knows that. I work out, I’ve been working out all my life dancing, training for my shows. My live shows are extremely physical and if I don’t stay in shape I can’t do them. Rather than going to gyms and complaining about what I don’t like about them I just decided to create my own and that way I can design the perfect gym. ‘

Madonna, who is a co-partner in a new chain of global gyms, Hard Candy Fitness, also attended the opening Monday of one in Moscow.

Red Hot Chili Peppers singer, Anthony Kiedis, wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the name Pussy Riot at a recent concert in St Petersburg. Indie band Franz Ferdinand, Peter Gabriel and Sting have all also issued messages of support.

‘ Surely the Russian authorities will completely drop these spurious charges and allow the women, these artists, to get back to their lives and to their children, ‘ Sting said in a statement. Meanwhile, a group of British musicians, including Jarvis Cocker, the lead singer of Pulp, and the Who’s Pete Townshend published an open letter of support for Russian band Pussy Riot in the Times last week.

Pussy Riot feminist Tolokonnikova, dressed in a checkered shirt tucked in skinny jeans, has told the court yesterday that Judge Marina Syrova’s actions are turning the defendants into dumb creatures.

She said in a trembling voice : ‘ I’m just a body that gets shuttled to the courtroom every day and stays here from 10 to 10. My motions don’t even get heard ‘. The band’s defence lawyers filed yet another petition to remove the judge that was shortly turned down.
