Indian authorities have ordered two British tourists to leave the country after they put up anti-Israel stickers in the western Indian town of Pushkar, local media reported yesterday.
The Rajasthan Police say Lewis Gabriel Dee and Anueshi Emma Christine, both 36, violated the terms of their tourist visas by engaging in political activity. The pair allegedly pasted stickers reading “Free Palestine” and “Boycott Israel,” some depicting Israeli flags defaced with swastikas, in several locations around the city.
The tourists arrived in India in January and traveled to Pushkar from New Delhi, according to a police report cited by local media. Authorities began investigating after receiving a report on January 21, and later questioned the pair, although no formal complaints were filed. The two apologized after they were informed that political expression is prohibited under tourist visa rules, reports say.
The state’s Criminal Investigation Department issued a “leave India” notice on Monday, revoking their visas and ordering them to depart immediately.
Pushkar is a popular destination for Israeli travelers, with about 10,000 visiting annually and roughly 2,000 currently staying in the area.
