Madonna yesterday called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release 30 Greenpeace crew members jailed after a protest against oil exploitation in the Arctic.
The singer said in a message to Greenpeace: ‘These people are in prison for staging a peaceful protest. Let’s bring them home.’
The so-called Arctic 30 are held in St Petersburg on hooliganism charges carrying a maximum seven-year sentence after being moved from a bleak detention centre above the Arctic Circle.
