Singapore has banned the two core members of British band Massive Attack from reentering the country after they displayed a Palestinian flag and expressed support for the Palestinian cause during their concert last week.
“The police take a serious view of acts which could potentially harm the racial and religious harmony in Singapore and urge the public, including foreigners, to refrain from importing foreign politics as this can undermine our social cohesion and the rule of law,” Singapore police said.
Massive Attack said the band was “surprised and disappointed” by the decision and didn’t expect that holding up the flag would violate any law. They said they were proud to have made the “impromptu expression” with their fans in Singapore to show solidarity for the Palestinian cause.
