BBC partly upholds complaints over Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set

The publication of BBC’s controversial set in Bob Vylan in Glastonbury decided the company’s complaint unit.

However, it was cleared of violating the rules of BBC on the possibility of encouraging or provoking the crime.

Punk duo “Death, death to IDF [Israel Defence Forces]”And during their performances, he made other humiliating comments that can watch with a live stream on IPlayer.

The decision comes after the BBC’s executive complaints unit (ECU), partially approved by the Four complaints.

ECU said that the performance of the group’s performance against the IDF, the use of slogans “from the river to the sea” and “free, free Palestine” and a record of the boss using an aggressive language referring to “Zionists”.

The second segment was violating the guidance that prohibited “unfairly scary, humiliating, interventionist, aggressive or humiliating explanations for” real people.

He said that “the” comments on the tour “can be characterized in an anti -Semitic manner”.

ECU did not decide that performance violated the possibility of encouraging or provoking the crime.

The decision said: “‘Free Palestine’ and ‘from the river to the sea’ references are seen by some implying the disappearance of the state of Israel, while more than the support of the Palestinian state, they cannot be accepted as more than the expressions of support for the desire and do not threaten the act of violence.”

“Death to IDF” manifestation “is clearly more problematic … Rather than individuals, he said that it was a institution that is not defined by ethnic or religious composition, and Ecu decided.

Upon the problem of impartiality, ECU received the opinion that the scope of a music festival did not need to meet the same standards as a news or current events program.

“On this occasion, while realizing that there was a widespread dispute with the political views expressed by Bob Vylan, ECU did not think that the BBC did not think that they had violated the standards of impartiality in this context.” He said.

BBC’s Bob Vylan’s festival set, published on İplayer, led to strong criticism after the event in June.

The company has already admitted that mistakes were made before and during the group’s appearance.

The group was accepted as “high risk”, so the feed was watched and warnings appeared on the screen, but the broadcast was not stopped after making comments.

BBC President Samir Shah said that the decision not to draw the live flow was “an undisputed judicial error”.

As a result, a small number of senior personnel stepped back from their daily tasks on music and live events, and the BBC announced a series of changes in publishing music performances.

Avon and Somperset police launched an investigation into the group’s comments.

After the festival, Bob Vylan said in a statement: “We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or another race or group of human beings. The dismantling of a violent military machine”.
