Russians Demand The Arrest Of Sting For Promoting Use Of Cannabis In B


Recommended Posts

Sting was last night facing demands for his arrest from angry Russian Communists, who have objected to his tour of their country.

 

The former Police frontman played in Moscow yesterday after radical left-wing activists condemned him for his 'public promotion of drugs'.

 

The Communists of St Petersburg and Leningrad said the 58-year-old singer should be arrested after calling for the legalisation of marijuana in a blog post in April.

 

A spokesman said: 'Such a figure, however talented his screaming fans may consider him, cannot be allowed to appear on stage in the Russian Federation.'

 

The radical group accused the Russian police of 'rotten liberalism' and double standards for its rigorous enforcement of drugs laws on Russian citizens but alleged softer stance on visiting Western pop stars
