French media are silent on opera singer’s airport ordeal
NewsThe South African international singer Pretty Yende posted an account this morning of how she was arrested, jailed and strip-searched on her arrival yesterday at Paris Charles De Gaulle airport.
Her account of the outrage has been public for eight hours. In that time, there has been no expression of solidarity from the Paris Opéra, no apology from the police and no fuss in French media which have stayed resolutely silent – including, especially, the music media.
For shame.
