Associated PressTEHRAN, Iran – British soul singer Joss Stone says she was deported from Iran after arriving in the Islamic Republic as part of a worldwide concert tour, even though she didn’t plan to perform there.
She wrote that Iranian authorities placed her on a “black list” because they believed she might try to perform a public show. She described the authorities that met her on arrival at Iran’s Kish Island as professional throughout their interaction. Under Iranian law, women cannot perform solo concerts, though women do play in ensemble bands and orchestras. It’s unclear what Stone planned to otherwise do in Iran, though her Instagram post described her desire to show “the positives of our globe.”
Stone earlier posted images of herself boarding a flight to Iran’s Kish Island in the Persian Gulf, which is an economic free zone that allows travel by all nationalities.
If she was not planning to perform then her visit to Iran was unnecessary.
So, why in hell were they so damn stupid in the first place?
Dang. She still in the biz
Yeah, if one is CIA, then assuming you would be detained, not nice to imprison people though and make them disappear. I wouldn't mind visiting Iran, culture, history, and I even speak some Farsi, but their Gov probably would detain me because I'm a critic against harsh ruling
U mean they didn’t welcome her with open arms giving her money free food, housing and healthcare for braking their immigration laws? What assholes they must be🙄🙄
See Democrats.....that’s how it’s done
WHERE IS YOUR HIJAB DAMNIT!
Sweet
