An appeal will be heard at the High Court on Wednesday regarding the decision to dismiss the terrorism case against Liam Og O hAnnaidh, a rapper who performs as Mo Chara with the group Kneecap. O hAnnaidh had been accused of displaying a flag supporting Hezbollah during a performance in London in November 2024. The case was thrown out last year on technical grounds, with the chief magistrate ruling that the necessary legal permissions were not obtained within the required timeframe, rendering the charge unlawful. The prosecution is appealing this decision, arguing that consent from the relevant authorities was not required at the time of charging, while O hAnnaidh continues to oppose the appeal, maintaining confidence in the outcome.
