people’s anger

What was supposed to be a celebration turned into chaos when an extremist group attacked the venue, vandalized it and forced the event to be cancelled. James had a narrow escape. It was not just a concert that stopped; it was a celebration of culture, free thinking and It was a direct attack on artistic freedom. When artists have to flee to save their lives, it shows the serious failure of the government to protect art, culture and those who keep them alive. “
