英国三步混音乐队Massive Attack在新加坡演出期间展示巴勒斯坦国旗后，遭新加坡警方调查并面临表演禁令[1]。乐队成员Robert Del Naja和Grant Marshall在2024年7月29日于新加坡Star Theatre的演出中展示该旗帜，随后因违反新加坡《外国国旗法》和《公共秩序法》被发出严厉警告[1]。新加坡警方表示，两人被禁止重新进入新加坡，且任何未来应用批准他们在新加坡表演都不会获得批准[1]。
Massive Attack随后发表声明，将这一经历描述为"荒诞"[1]。乐队在声明中强调了维护言论自由和人权的重要性[1]。此前，Del Naja曾在2024年4月伦敦反对Palestine Action禁令的示威中被逮捕[1]。
British electronic music group Massive Attack has been prohibited from performing in Singapore following an incident during their July 29, 2024 concert at the Star Theatre, where band members displayed a Palestinian flag on stage [1]. The group's co-founders Robert Del Naja and Grant Marshall were issued stern warnings by Singapore police for violating the Foreign Flags Act and Public Order Act [1]. Both musicians have been banned from re-entering Singapore, and authorities stated that any future applications for them to perform in the country would not be approved [1].
In response to the enforcement action, Massive Attack described the experience as "surreal," emphasizing the importance of safeguarding freedom of expression and human rights [1]. Del Naja has a history of activism; he was among approximately 500 people arrested during an April 2024 protest in London opposing a ban on Palestine Action [1].
