Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported39m ago
British band Massive Attack was detained, isolated, and separately questioned by Singapore police after displaying a Palestinian flag during a performance in the city-state. Following the incident, Singapore authorities banned the group from the country.
The disciplinary action against the musicians was carried out under Singapore's official policy of racial harmony, a regulatory framework governing public expression that has a history of facing criticism for stifling free speech.
