# Pjevačica Joss Stone tvrdi da je deportovana iz Irana

Britanska soul pjevačica Joss Stone tvrdi da je deportovana iz Irana po dolasku u Islamsku Republiku radi obilaska te zemlje u okviru svjetske koncertne turneje, iako nije planirala da nastupa tamo.

Stone je je postavila na Instagramu snimak na kome joj je glava pokrivena maramom i na kome govori: "Stigli smo u Iran, uhapsili su nas i potom deportovali". Kazala je da su solo nastupi ženskih izvođača u Iranu nelegalni, ali da je ipak poželjela da vidi tu zemlju.   
  
Ona piše da su je iranske vlasti stavile na "crnu listu" jer su vjerovale da bi mogla poklušati da održi solo koncert. Opisala je predstavnike vlasti s kojima se sastala po dolasku na otok Kish kao profesionalne tokom njihove konverzacije.   
  
"To su istinski ljubazni ljudi koji se osjećaju loše jer ne mogu prevazići ograničenja sistema", piše ona.   
  
Po iranskom zakonu, žene ne mogu izvoditi solo koncerte, iako nastupaju u ansamblima i orkestrima. Nejasno je šta je Stone planirala da radi u Iranu, iako je na svom Instagram profilu navela želju da pokaže "pozitivnost našeg svijeta".   
  
Iranske novine u četvrtak su izvijestile o komentarima Stone na instagramu, iako vlada nije odmah komentirala njene tvrdnje.  
  
Stone je ranije postavila svoje fotografije kako se iskrcava na iranskom otoku Kish u Perzijskom zalivu, koji je slobodna ekonomska zona u kojoj su dopuštena proputovanja državljanima svih zemalja.   
  
Kish, ipak, može biti opasno mjesto za zapadnjake. Robert Levinson, bivši agent FBI u neovlaštenoj misiji za CIA-u, nestao je na otoku Kish u martu 2007. On još nije pronađen. Iako iranske vlasti tvrde da nisu umješane u njegov nestanak, njegova porodica i američki zvaničnici navode da ga Iran drži u zatočeništvu.   
  
Stone je stekla svjetsku slavu kao tinejdžerka iz malog mjesta sa snažnim soul glasom izraženim u njenom najprodavanijem debitantskom albumu “The Soul Sessions” i hit singlovima među kojima je “Fell In Love With A Boy". Ona je također glumila u filmovima i prijateljica je engleskog princa Williama i njegove supruge Kate, prenosi Associated Press.   
  


> So , our very last country on the list was Iran . We were aware there couldn’t be a public concert as I am a woman and that is illegal in this country. Personally I don’t fancy going to an Iranian prison nor am I trying to change the politics of the countries I visit nor do I wish to put other people in danger. However, it seems the authority’s don’t believe we wouldn’t be playing a public show so they have popped us on what they call the ‘black list ‘ as we found out when we turned up to the immigration hall. After long discussions with the most friendly charming and welcoming immigration people the decision was made to detain us for the night and to deport us in the morning. Of course I was gutted. So close yet so far, this moment broke a little piece of my heart. Then I realised the silver lining was bright. I told them my story and explained my mission, to bring good feeling with what I have to give and show those who want to look, the positives of our globe. All with the understanding that public performance wasn’t an option in this scenario. I still have to walk forward towards that goal some way some how. And of course music is my driver. Doesn’t mean we have to brake any laws though. There is music everywhere. Even here, we just have to play by there rules and they have to believe we will. It’s a trust thing. They were so kind to us, at one point I started to question it. The question whirled around my head, were they just luring is into a false sense of security so we would walk into our jail cells quietly with out a drama? Nope , these people are genuinely nice kind people that felt bad that they couldn’t over ride the system. They didn’t speak English so well so the translator Mohamed, who clearly had a lovely soul conveyed the message that they hoped we would go to embassy to sort it all out and come back, they were refusing us entry with a heavy heart and were so sorry. After Mo had left, the officers kept telling us sorry. They said sorry all the way through this process and kept saying this till we got on the plane they were sending us away on. We were the ones that should have been apologising for not having our correct paper work. The ball
