Bi-2, a dissident rock band critical of Moscow’s actions in Ukraine, may be deported to Russia after being arrested in Thailand. The seven-member group, which includes Israeli nationals, faced charges of lacking proper working papers after a concert on Phuket. Human rights advocates fear Russia’s influence in pressuring Thailand to hand over the musicians, known for their anti-war and anti-Putin stance. Dmitry Gudkov, a Russian opposition politician, expressed concern, emphasizing the potential dangers the band might face in Russian custody. The situation highlights the Kremlin’s crackdown on dissenting voices, even abroad.
