Several members had their hotel rooms searched and passports temporarily confiscated, the post said. Singapore police did not immediately respond to ‌questions from Reuters ‌regarding the band's ⁠statement. Police did not name ⁠the two band members. The band did not say who ‌among ​the members were detained and whose rooms were searched or passports confiscated. "We did not imagine that merely ​holding up the flag of a sovereign state recognised by 157 countries (Palestine) would violate any law," the band's statement said.
