In a letter released Thursday, the former Beatle urged three members of all-female band Pussy Riot to "stay strong" and called on authorities to allow them freedom of speech.
McCartney said that "I and many others like me who believe in free speech will do everything in our power to support you and the idea of artistic freedom."
The band members have been in jail for more than five months because of an anti-Putin prank in Moscow's main cathedral, and face a maximum seven years in jail.
Celebrities including Madonna and Bjork have called for them to be freed.
A judge is due to rule on their case Friday.

Shame on you Paul! You disgraced the whole world because of these ******! This is not the girl for a long time! They went against God! Stripped almost at the altar of the temple. They desecrated the temple. **** song a word about the Virgin. Offended the religious sentiments of millions of faithful Christians. And you protect prostitutes, who starred in a pornographic video. Horrible man! No longer will listen to your songs and never telling everyone what you're a bad person! Do not listen to people no songs of Paul. It supports the devil!
