BBC partly upholds Bob Vylan complaints

The BBC’s broadcast of Bob Vylan’s controversial set at Glastonbury broke editorial guidelines in relation to harm and offence, the corporation’s complaints unit has ruled.However, it has been cleared of breaching the BBC’s rules on impartiality and being likely to encourage or incite crime.The punk duo led a chant of “death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]” and made other derogatory comments during their performance, which was available to watch via a live stream on iPlayer.The ruling comes after the BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit examined four complaints, which were partly upheld.
