Massive Attack members barred from Singapore after displaying Palestinian flag

Massive Attack members barred from Singapore after displaying Palestinian flag Two members of British band Massive Attack were barred from re-entering Singapore after displaying the Palestinian flag during Wednesday's concert, Reuters reported. Singapore police said Friday the band was being “investigated for supporting a political cause and unfurling of a foreign flag” and will no longer be allowed to perform in Singapore. Singapore does not allow the public display of foreign national emblems without a permit or exemption, and the Palestinian flag is especially sensitive given the war in Gaza and Singapore's Muslim population.
