ADDS DETAIL TO BACKGROUND, FILE - In this Nov. 26, 2016 file photo, British singer Joss Stone laughs as she adjusts her earpiece before performing a concert in Karen, on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya. Stone says Wednesday, July 3, 2019, that 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.
Posting on Instagram, Stone appears in a video wearing a white headscarf saying: “Well, we got to Iran, we got detained and then we got deported.” She said she knew solo performances by women were illegal, but she still wanted to see Iran. “These people are genuinely nice kind people that felt bad that they couldn’t override the system,” she wrote in a caption.
Iranian newspapers reported Stone’s Instagram comments on Thursday, though there was no immediate government comment on her claims.
