British tourists ordered to leave India over ‘free Palestine’ stickers

NEW DELHI: Two British nationals have been ordered to leave India after their visas were canceled for pasting Palestine stickers in a popular temple town in the western state of Rajasthan. Ajmer district police, who oversee Pushkar, one of the oldest Hindu pilgrimage sites, issued on Feb. 2 “leave India” notices to a British man and woman for violating tourist visa regulations “by pasting stickers against another country.” Photos of the stickers, which were shared by the local media, read: “Free Palestine,” “Boycott Israel,” and featured the Palestinian flag.
