You know they just got out of jail over a month now. It's pretty incredible. So to be be a part of something like this, even in a small way, to even be able to stand up for the injustices. To raise awareness is great, but Pussy Riot - that's a whole other league. That's awesome.\" \u003cbr/\u003eHis sentiments were echoed by actress Susan Sarandon, who also pointed out that Pussy Riot are just the tip of the iceberg.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think it's important to remember that Pussy Riot was, in a way, easier because they were so dramatic and so in the public eye, but there are thousands of prisoners of conscience that are in the dark that people don't even know have disappeared: journalists, the intellectuals, students - whatever, horrible things happen.  And the most rewarding thing we can do is to make it public as much as possible.\" \u003cbr/\u003eThe Flaming Lips' singer Wayne Coyne admitted he wasn't familiar with the Russian band's music, but that he respected their stance.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I know a little bit about their story and stuff. Of course I'm always on the side of people, you know, doing their thing. I always say 'I hope you don't get caught.' I don't know if you can ever really change the minds of the whole side of the world. I think a lot of people agree with Putin, that's a true dilemma. I don't know. So I don't know. I think in our hearts and our minds if we feel this way, we believe this way, we have to act.\" \u003cbr/\u003eInside the venue, Madonna compared her treatment at the hands of the press to the imprisonment of Pussy Riot.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The right to be free, to speak our minds, to have an opinion, to love who we want to love, to be who we are - do we have to fight for that?\" the pop icon said, answering her own question with an expletive. \"I've always considered myself a freedom fighter since the early ``80s when I realized I had a voice and I could sing more than songs about being a material girl or feeling like a virgin. And I have definitely paid for and have been punished for speaking my mind and for sticking my neck out for this kind of discrimination. But that's OK.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMadonna introduced band members Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, who were released from prison in December and made their first public appearance in the U.S. on Tuesday. They spoke through a translator at the \"Bringing Human Rights Home\" concert, telling the audience they were grateful to be free, but have to continue to fight to save others who are imprisoned.\u003cbr/\u003eAlekhina and Tolokonnikova, who wore T-shirts featuring cross designs Wednesday, thanked supporters for sending letters while they were in jail and Amnesty International for its mission to protect human rights.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Thank you to all of those who are bold enough and who care enough to speak out against injustice and speak the truth,\" Alekhina said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Moscow-based group, which features nearly a dozen female musicians, has been critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin and political conditions in their homeland.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Russia will be free!\" they yelled along with the crowd before they exited the stage.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile Madonna and Pussy Riot didn't perform, the Flaming Lips and Yoko Ono closed the more than four-hour event, while Imagine Dragons were crowd favorites with their Grammy-winning hit, \"Radioactive.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLauryn Hill and Blondie earned cheers as they entered the stage. Hill kicked off her set - each act roughly performed three songs - with \"Ready or Not\" from her Fugees days, while Debbie Harry was a firecracker when she sang \"One Way or Another\" and \"Call Me.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAmnesty International's \"Bringing Human Rights Home\" also included performances from Cake, the Fray, Bob Geldof, Tegan and Sara, Colbie Caillat and Cold War Kids. It is the organization's first concert since the \"human Rights Concerts\" were held from 1986 to 1998, and included U2, Bruce Springsteen, Sting and Peter Gabriel.\u003cbr/\u003eAP Entertainment\u003cbr/\u003eNew York, February 5, 2014 \u003cbr/\u003e1.
