British group Bob Vylan sue Irish broadcaster RTE for defamation

LONDON: British rap duo Bob Vylan are suing Ireland’s national broadcaster, RTE, for defamation over its reporting of their chants from the stage at the Glastonbury Festival in opposition to the actions of the Israeli military during the war in Gaza. Following the group’s performance in June, RTE News reported that lead singer Pascal Robinson-Foster had led antisemitic chanting. “These allegations are categorically denied by our clients and are entirely untrue,” Phoenix Law Solicitors, acting for the group, said on Tuesday.
