UK: Member of Irish rap band Kneecap appears at court on “terrorism” charge

Source: Al Jazeera [Qatari state media]

“A member of the Irish rap group Kneecap has arrived in court in London, charged with a ‘terror’ offence for allegedly supporting the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah. Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who was initially charged under the Anglicised name Liam O’Hanna, and who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, appeared at the Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday after he was charged in May for displaying a Hezbollah flag during a London concert in November. … Since Hezbollah was banned in the United Kingdom in 2019, it has been an offence to show support for the Iran-aligned group.” [editor’s note: Heaven forbid anyone get away with waving the “wrong” Holy Pole Quilt! — TLK] (08/20/25)
