UK police have decided not to pursue action against Bob Vylan for comments about the Israeli military made at Glastonbury, citing insufficient evidence for prosecution.
LONDON, Dec 23 (Reuters) - British police said on Tuesday they would take no further action over comments made about the Israeli military during a performance by punk duo Bob Vylan at the Glastonbury music festival in June.
"We have concluded, after reviewing all the evidence, that it does not meet the criminal threshold outlined by the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) for any person to be prosecuted," Avon and Somerset Police said.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is the principal public agency for conducting criminal prosecutions in England and Wales. It advises the police on cases for prosecution and decides whether to charge individuals with criminal offenses.
A criminal threshold refers to the level of evidence required for a prosecution to proceed in a criminal case. It determines whether there is sufficient evidence to justify charging an individual with a crime.
Avon and Somerset Police is a territorial police force responsible for policing the counties of Avon and Somerset in England. It handles crime prevention, investigation, and community safety.
