Dissident Russian rock band threatened with deportation in Thailand. Some members of the band Bi-2, who took a stand against the war in Ukraine and Vladimir Putin, were arrested last week in Phuket, where they were giving concerts.
The band announced on Telegram on Wednesday that lead singer Egor Botnik had flown to Israel, but that " the other band members were still in an immigration prison in a cramped cell for 80 people." Their arrest took place last week, where the group was giving a concert as part of an international tour.
