The Dominican Republic government commission that oversees public performances is banning a September 13 concert by Miley Cyrus on morality grounds.
The commission said in a statement Thursday that it took the action because Cyrus often “undertakes acts that go against morals and customs, which are punishable by Dominican law.”
Some critics have declared Cyrus’ onstage antics, including twerking, as vulgar.
A representative for Cyrus did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Concert organisers in the Dominican Republic did not comment on the ban.
The commission in the past has banned songs it considers vulgar from the airwaves, including some by Calle 13 of Puerto Rico.
