Overview
- Avon and Somerset Police said the Glastonbury chants did not meet the CPS threshold for a realistic prospect of conviction.
- The CPS provided early investigative advice but was not asked to make a charging decision in the case.
- Investigators interviewed a man in his mid-30s under caution in November and contacted about 200 members of the public, assessing intent, context, case law and free-speech issues.
- Jewish charities and Israel’s London embassy condemned the decision, while Bob Vylan said the probe was never warranted and urged others to speak up about Palestine.
- The BBC apologized and found editorial breaches over its livestream of the set, and the duo have faced cancellations and U.S. visa revocation as separate defamation action against RTÉ continues.
