Vietnam wins Russia's 'Intervision' song contest, US contestant drops out.

With artists from more than 20 countries, Russia on Saturday revived its Intervision song contest, which the Kremlin promotes as an alternative to Eurovision and a means to highlight "traditional values".

Vietnamese singer Duc Phuc won the event with a song inspired by a poem about bamboo.

#Petition #Eurovision #Israel

To all broadcasters and the European Broadcasting Union:
"We call on you to urgently speak out against Israel’s participation. Broadcasters must do what they did with Russia: ban Israel until its government ends its brutal attacks on civilians in Gaza, stops targeting journalists and their families, and complies with international humanitarian law."
