## Key points

- Singapore investigates Massive Attack over pro-Palestinian concert display.
- Two members were barred from entering Singapore.
- Conviction could bring fines and prison terms.

## Summary

Singaporean authorities are investigating Massive Attack after the band reportedly displayed a Palestinian flag and led a “Free Palestine” chant during a concert in the city-state. The case highlights Singapore’s tight restrictions on public expression related to the Gaza war and the unpermitted display of foreign national symbols, despite its official support for a two-state solution.

Police said reports had been filed, while the Infocomm Media Development Authority examined a possible breach of licence conditions. Two band members were subsequently barred from Singapore, and authorities said future performance applications would not be approved; if convicted, members could face a S$500 fine and up to six months’ imprisonment. Massive Attack had not commented or been detained, and remained scheduled to perform in Seoul on 1 August.
