Amnesty International is bringing its Human Rights Concerts back this year. On February 5, the Bringing Human Rights Home concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center will include Flaming Lips, Lauryn Hill, Tegan and Sara, Cold War Kids, and more. Amnesty International has now confirmed that two formerly imprisoned members of Pussy Riot will also appear. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina were freed just last month under a new amnesty law in Russia and are currently focusing their work on prisoners' rights.

According to a press release, Tolokonnikova and Alekhina "will address attendees at the concert to raise awareness about prisoners of conscience." The two artists shared a statement in a press release:

We are happy to support Amnesty International’s work on behalf of human rights and political prisoners. We, more than anyone, understand how important Amnesty’s work is in connecting activists to prisoners... A month ago we were freed from Russian prison camps. We will never forget what it’s like to be in prison after a political conviction. We have vowed to continue helping those who remain behind bars and we hope to see you all at the Amnesty International concert on February 5th in Brooklyn!

Amnesty International held its first Human Rights Concerts in the 1980s and 90s with artists like Radiohead, Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Peter Gabriel, and more. According to a press release, the February 5 concert "will use technology to connect the music and message in real time from the stage of the Barclays Center to activists across the globe."
