#MassiveAttack banned from #Singapore after #ProPalestine display at show

by Tessa Wong, July 31, 2026

"Singapore authorities are investigating Massive Attack after the British band reportedly expressed #ProPalestinian sentiments during a performance in the city-state.

"According to local media reports and eyewitness accounts on social media, two members of Massive Attack held up a Palestinian flag at the show on Wednesday, and reportedly shouted '#FreePalestine', with some in the audience joining them.

"The BBC has contacted the organisers of the Singapore show and Massive Attack's management company for comment. Neither have responded yet.

"Singapore has strict rules on public speech and what it deems as demonstrations, arguing that it is necessary to regulate them to protect social harmony.

"Authorities have previously investigated public events related to the Israel-Gaza war. Earlier this year they fined several people for organising an unauthorised walk in support of the #Palestinian cause.

"In response to BBC queries on Friday, a spokesperson for the police and the media authority said that 'reports were lodged and investigations are ongoing'.

"The spokesperson also said that the media authority is investigating a possible breach of licence conditions. Performances in Singapore, including concerts, usually require a permit.

"The BBC has asked Singapore authorities whether the band members or anyone involved in the production of the show have been detained or barred from leaving Singapore pending investigations. Authorities have yet to respond.

"Massive Attack is currently on a world tour, with Wednesday's performance their only date in Singapore. Their next show is due to be held in Seoul on Saturday.
The band, which pioneered the trip-hop genre, has long been known for its openly political stance on a number of issues, including the war in #Gaza.

"Massive Attack's frontman #RobertDelNaja was arrested earlier this year when he took part in a demonstration in London. He was accused of showing support for #PalestineAction, which is a proscribed organisation in the UK."

“‘WE WANTED TO SAVE LIVES’, PALESTINE ACTIVISTS TELL COURT”

“A jury at Birmingham crown court is deliberating whether four pro-Palestine activists committed criminal damage at an arms factory in Wolverhampton.

Defendants Iain Evans, Hisham Alkhamesi, Frank Sherman, and Hana Yun-Stevens believed the factory, used by arms firm Moog, supplied weaponry to Israel.

They climbed onto the roof in August 2025, smashed equipment and unveiled a banner saying ‘Free Palestine’ while wearing T-shirts with the names of Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes”

The Royal Commission on antisemitism is rapidly becoming a mechanism to police dissent, shield Israel from criticism, and redefine the limits of political speech in Australia.

Just when you think #Starmer has realised the need to take on the #FarRight rather than fawn to them…he includes the kind of caveat that he never seems to apply to #ProPalestine protests in that he:

“made clear he recognises that the majority expected to attend are law-abiding citizens, who want to protest peacefully, and urged everyone attending a protest to act with decency and respect”

Fortunately #USCPRAction has a good list of #ProPalestine federal candidate endorsements:

#SaikatChakrabarti is on my ballot and I look forward to voting for him.

As far as I can tell there's not a clear #ProPalestine candidate. Steyer called AIPAC a "dark money organization", but I'm not sure being anti-AIPAC is the same as being pro-Palestine. I can't see any who have used the G word or who endorse economic pressure on Israel. At the same time, it's a state position, not a federal one, so I'm probably not going to hold it as a litmus test.

#SilencingDissent: The Crackdown on #PeacefulProtest in #Europe

In our recently published Rule of Law report, Liberties’ members reported an increase in restrictions on the right to peaceful protest in all countries.

by Flore du Teilleul
April 10, 2025

"The right to peaceful protest is essential to our democracies, allowing people to come together with a unified voice to support or oppose key issues. It serves as a powerful mechanism for individuals to hold their governments to account and is often the last resort when prior messages go unheard. However, politicians often perceive this right as a threat, especially when force of numbers demonstrates support for an issue.

"In our recently published Rule of Law report, Liberties’ members reported an increase in restrictions on the right to peaceful protest in all countries - from bans on individual protests to the disproportionate use of force by the police and legislative changes. A widespread trend emerged of restricted #ProPalestine protests and #EnvironmentalDefenders receiving particularly harsh penalties.

Bans on Protests

"Restrictions on various protest movements justified on public safety grounds were documented in many member states. In #Germany, the Berlin Assembly Authorities implemented a temporary blanket ban targeting pro-Palestine demonstrations. Initially, the ban targeted celebrations of the mass murder and pro-Hamas demonstrations but later extended to all pro-Palestinian protests. Similarly, in #Latvia, an unregistered #FreePalestine movement protest was banned after an assessment by the state security service that the event would, among other risks, harm the country’s international interests.

"The #Estonian police banned a protest in support of Palestinians, which was later declared unlawful by the administrative court. In #Hungary, Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán publicly prejudiced support for Palestinians by linking it with #terrorism, equating solidarity with civilians victims to threats to the public order. As the fifteen attempts to organise protests were successively banned, the government and the Prime Minister re-asserted their power by deciding what can be demonstrated for, namely, topics in line with their political interests."
