Political speeches at the British festival led to a police investigation

The famous "Glastonbury" festival in the United Kingdom this time became the center of broad discussion due to the collision of art and politics, reported aa.com. The Irish rap group Kneecap and the British punk-rap group Bob Vylan came under police investigation after their performances on stage.

According to Avon and Somerset police, the performances of both groups at the festival were fully analyzed using video and audio recordings. The results of the inspection noted that additional evidence now needs to be collected, and the investigation is being conducted as a "public order matter." The police especially emphasized that they are thoroughly studying all aspects of hate crime legislation.

At the center of these events are the slogans "Free Palestine" and "Death to the Israeli army," which were voiced during Bob Vylan's performance. Numerous festival participants also joined these calls, which caused heated debates in society. The Irish group Kneecap also freely expressed its creativity on social and political topics.

Police representatives stated that during the investigation they would rely on any documents and evidence, without yielding to personal relationships or external pressure. It was noted that public reaction is strong and the event is being actively discussed on social networks. Law enforcement agencies have established "no place for hatred in society" as the main principle.

At the same time, the Glastonbury festival has repeatedly attracted attention with such high-profile events. This time, too, uncompromising debates continue between creative freedom and the demands of the law.
