The Israeli Foreign Ministry confirmed negotiations with Thailand on the issue of deportation of Bi-2 musicians

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs is negotiating with the Kingdom of Thailand on the issue of deportation of the musicians of the Bi-2 group. The RIA Novosti agency writes about this with reference to the foreign policy department.

The Jewish Foreign Ministry reported that Israel is involved in the situation with detained artists and is trying to provide assistance to four musicians who have a passport from this country.

“The Israeli Foreign Ministry and the embassy in Thailand are in contact with Israeli citizens and are trying to help them,” foreign ministry spokesman Lior Hayat said.

Previously, journalist and member of the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation Marina Akhmedova commented on the long deportation of artists from the Kingdom. In her Telegram channel, she wrote that the Thai authorities were “simply at a loss as to where exactly to deport these multi-citizens.”

Let us remind you about the detention of the band’s musicians “Bi-2” became known on January 25. The reason for the arrest was performing in one of the clubs without the appropriate permission.

In addition to deportation by court decision, every musician must pay a fine $95 each.

Let us remind you that one of the frontmen of the group, lead singer Egor Bortnik (Leva “Bi-2”), was included in the register of foreign agents in May 2023.
