New coverage confirms that two members of Massive Attack have been barred from re-entering Singapore after displaying a Palestinian flag during a concert. The decision underlines Singapore’s strict controls on political expression at public events and may affect the band’s ability to perform there in future.

Police reportedly issued stern warnings over the display, while the media regulator said it would not approve future performance applications involving the band. Authorities said the incident could have breached rules on foreign national emblems, public assemblies and concert licensing conditions.
