## Summary

Two members of Massive Attack have been barred from re-entering Singapore after displaying a Palestinian flag during a concert. The case highlights Singapore’s tight restrictions on political expression at public performances and is likely to prevent the group from appearing there again.

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