"Bj\u00C3\u00B6rk has added to the growing number of musicians to condemn the imprisonment of girl-punk band Pussy Riot. The band were arrested for &amp;#039;hooliganism&amp;#039; in March after performing a song heavily critical of the Vladimir Putin-led government at a Moscow cathedral, and are potentially facing up to seven years in prison.    The singer posted a message on her website denouncing the Russian government&amp;#039;s response, which stated: &amp;quot;As a musician and a mother i would like to express i fiercely dont agree with them being put to jail because of their peaceful protest performance.  &amp;quot;in my opinion the russian authorities should let them go home to their families and children\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 I would like to invite pussy riot to join me in a particular song on stage : which was written for all enhancement of justice ( you can guess : once , which one )(sic).&amp;quot; In her criticism of Russian authorities Bjork joins the likes of fellow musicians Sting, Jarvis Cocker, Johnny Marr, Alex Kapranos and, most notably, Madonna. The &amp;#039;Like A Virgin&amp;#039; singer was labelled a &amp;quot;former slut trying to lecture on morality&amp;quot; by the Russian deputy prime minister, after she sang at her Moscow concert with the words &amp;#039;Pussy Riot&amp;#039; written on her back. Vladimir Putin has since called for leniency on the band, telling reporters that &amp;quot;there is nothing good in what they did, [but] I don&amp;#039;t think they should be judged too severely&amp;quot;.
