Welsh parliament drops poet over Gaza reference in opening poem
Original: hanan issa senedd poem rejection
The Senedd, Wales's parliament, has removed poet Hanan Issa from an opening ceremony after she included a reference to Gaza in a poem she was due to read. The decision has drawn criticism, with commentators arguing the institution censored political speech, while supporters of the move say ceremonial events should remain free of contested political references.
Why now: People are debating whether the Senedd's decision amounts to censorship of pro-Palestinian expression.
