For her part, Madonna also announced her support and participation in the event stating: «I have the honor to present my fellow wrestlers Masha and Nadia, from Pussy Riot. I have admired their courage and have long supported their commitment and the sacrifices they have made in the name of freedom of expression and human rights. ". After being released, Aliójina, mother of a 5-year-old boy, and Tolokónnikova announced their intention to dedicate themselves to the defense of human rights from now on.
