UK police say performances at Glastonbury Festival are subject to criminal investigation
UK police are investigating rap punk duo Bob Vylan and Irish band Kneecap after Glastonbury performances featured chants calling for “death” to the Israeli military and “Free Palestine.” The US revoked Bob Vylan’s visa following the incident. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the chants as “appalling hate speech.” The BBC regretted livestreaming the performance, citing antisemitic sentiments.
