Massive Attack singer arrested for supporting Palestine Action
Massive Attack singer Robert Del Naja was arrested during a protest for his public support of the group Palestine Action. This marks his second arrest this year for similar demonstrations, following a history of activist actions by the band that previously resulted in a travel ban in Singapore.
Massive Attack singer Robert Del Naja, also known as 3D, was recently arrested while protesting at a British Labour Party event. During the demonstration, he displayed a sign stating his opposition to genocide and his support for the activist group Palestine Action. This incident follows a similar arrest earlier this year in London, where the musician was detained for his involvement in another protest organized by the same group.
The band Massive Attack has established a consistent record of public activism regarding the situation in Palestine. During a performance in Singapore this past July, members of the group displayed the Palestinian flag and chanted slogans calling for freedom in the region. These actions led to significant repercussions from local authorities, who issued a formal warning to the band and imposed a travel ban, prohibiting them from re-entering the country.
