Bad news indeed. I hope they all can get out of this difficult situation and avoid being deported to Russia. I wish I could do something to help them.

So, there was an issue in Thailand, with Thailand's authority, and he gets deported back to Russia?

I don't know how to find this and I don't do social media so could you link it please 

This is terrible news. I'm not sure what Gleb's residency status is in the UK but maybe the UK government could be involved.  I saw them perform in London just before the pandemic. They are lovely people and certainly deserve support.

After the death in prison of the members of Grop Yorum in Turkey, after the prosecution and the jailing of the Pussy Riot, back to the killing of Victor Jara. Music means freedom and the paranoia of dictators hits whenever possible.

In a social media post, Kolyadin's Iamthemorning colleague Marjana Semkina announced: "Guys!!! They got out!!! Safely on a plane to Israel. Can’t wait to have him back in the UK. We’re still a little worried about potential issues at the Israeli border but surely everything should be fine after the story for so crazy big in international news. I also know that UK authorities were on site yesterday.

"Thank you all SO MUCH for your help, posts, emails, sharing the petition and just moral support. I for one really needed it."

It is more about Israel in Palestina, but yes: there is a conflict going on there. But it appears that some band members are Israeli passport holders, so this might explain that...

Very good news that they've all been released!

This seems the best place to invite you to search about Grup Yorum on the web. A tragic story involving a dictator that EU is financing with billions € to stop the refugees from crossing the borders to Europe, even if most of the refugees are caused by his troops in Syria.
Grup Yorum was a band of skillful musicians who died in the Turkish jailhouses because of their political involvement. Similar in some ways to what happened to Victor Jara after the putsch in Chile in 1973. 
But Turkey is in the Nato and called "friend" by NATO, USA and EU.

Many years ago I've been there for work and it was a fantastic Country with fantastic people. Now it's a nigthmare.
