DUBAI: English singer Paul Weller, Scottish rock band Primal Scream and Irish host and DJ Annie Mac voiced their support this week for Irish rap group Kneecap, who recently came under fire for displaying a \u201cFree Palestine\u201d message during their performance at the Coachella festival in the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tThe artists joined over 40 others in signing an open letter organized by Kneecap\u2019s record label, Heavenly Recordings, which condemns what it describes as a deliberate attempt to suppress the group\u2019s voice and remove them from public platforms.\u00a0
