Rock band Bi-2: All flown from Thailand to Israel. All band members safely left Thailand and were on their way to Tel Aviv, the band announced on Facebook.
The band is accused of not having the valid documents for the performance in Phuket. Human rights activists warned that the exiled group would face persecution if deported to Moscow because of their public criticism of the Russian government. The Russian band was detained in Thailand last week after a concert on the holiday island ofPhuket and taken into immigration detention.
