“Britain’s prosecution service said on Tuesday it was appealing a court decision to dismiss terrorism charges against a member of Irish rap group Kneecap, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, also known as Mo Chara. The charge — relating to the alleged display of a flag of Iran-backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah during a London concert in November 2024 — was thrown out last month after the court ruled it had been brought outside the six-month statutory limit. … Kneecap, known for politically charged lyrics and pro-Palestine messaging, has previously said the case was an attempt to silence dissent. The group cancelled its U.S. tour in August, citing the legal proceedings.” (10/07/25)
