While the world waits to find out what’s going to happen to Pussy Riot — the Russian musicians who pulled an anti-Putin punk prank and are on trial for it — more and more people are speaking out against it. Musicians such as Björk and Madonna have spoken about it during their performances, and the mayor of Reykjavik, Jón Gnarr, wore a dress and a Pussy Riot-inspired outfit during the city’s Pride parade. It had been reported last week that Peaches was creating a video called “Free Pusy Riot,” which has now been launched, along with a link to a petition to free Pussy Riot. The video features cameos by such artists as Lyyke Li, Peter Bjorn & John, Margaret Cho, Le Tigre/MEN’s JD Samson, the MC5’s Wayne Kramer, the Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears and many more.
