Photo: Reuters Icelandic singer Bjorka defended the arrested participants in the punk group Pussy Riot Alekhina, Samutsevich and Tolokonnikova. “As a musician and as a mother, I am categorically disagreeing with the fact that they are sent to prison for a peaceful protest action. In my opinion, the Russian authorities should let them go to families and children,” Bjork wrote on her official website . “I would like Pussy Riot to sang a song with me, which was written as a call for justice (guess what).”
Fans of the singer suggested what the song could be. Many are sure that we are talking about "Declare Independence" ("proclaim independence"), because it was with this song that Bjork performed in 2008 at a concert in China, calling for the independence of Tibet, which entailed a loud scandal. Bjork has repeatedly used the song "Declare Independence" for political purposes. Before the concert in China, she dedicated this song Kosovo (at a concert in Japan), after which her performance in Serbia was canceled.
One of the members of the Pussy Riot group, which is at large, in an interview with Publicpost, has already said that they received a letter from Bjork with support and proposal of a joint performance by e-mail. There was no answer to the singer, but the punk group participants have repeatedly emphasized that they did not support official performances, avoiding media and rejecting the capitalism system.
After speaking with the "punk-ground" in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior for girls from the feminist group Pussy Riot, a real hunt began. The Orthodox community requires an “inevitable punishment” for them, civil activists go to single pickets in their defense.
