It is a great victory for gay rights groups, foremost among them Tjenbé Red: just as he is expected in Paris on Sunday 26 September to perform on the stage of the Elysée Montmartre, Vybz Kartel signed the Reggae Compassionate Act on 22 September 2010.
By signing this document, Vybz Kartel undertakes to no longer make statements or sing lyrics inciting hatred or violence against any community whatsoever.
Remember that the council of Paris's 18th arrondissement had, at the initiative of Ian BROSSAT, councillor for the 18th and chair of the group of Communist and Left Party councillors on the Paris Council, voted on Monday a motion asking the capital's police prefect to "consider the risks of public disorder" ahead of his concert on Sunday.
The association Tjenbé Red consequently announces that it is withdrawing its call to mobilise.
