English trip hop group Massive Attack are under investigation by Singapore authorities after voicing support for Palestine during a recent show in the country, according to reports from the BBC and Channel News Asia.
Massive Attack played a concert in Singapore on Wednesday, and photos published in Channel News Asia showed the group holding up a Palestine flag, with the outlet reporting that the band shouted “Free Palestine” as well.
Authorities also told the BBC that “reports were lodged and investigations are ongoing.”
As the BBC notes, Singapore has policies barring “public display of foreign national emblems,” including flags, without prior permitting. The punishment is as much as about $400 or six months in jail.
A rep for the group couldn’t be reached.
