Kneecap’s Liam Og O hAnnaidh, aka Mo Chara, speaks to supporters outside Woolwich Crown Court, London, September 26, 2025

IRISH rappers Kneecap have said that they will “not be silent” ahead of a further legal challenge over a British court’s decision to throw out the terrorism case against Liam Og O hAnnaidh.

Mr O hAnnaidh, aka Mo Chara, was accused of displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in November 2024, until a technical error in the way he was charged led to the chief magistrate ruling he could not try the case.

The rap trio said in a post on social media on Thursday morning that the British government has issued them with a notice that it intends to appeal against the court’s decision.

Last year, the Crown Prosecution Service said it would be appealing against the decision because “we believe there is an important point of law which needs to be clarified.”

Belfast musician Mo Chara, whose real name is Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, is accused of displaying Hezbollah flag at gig

The criminal case against the Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh should be thrown out, a court has heard.

Ó hAnnaidh, who performs with the band under the stage name Mo Chara, will have to wait until 26 September, when the chief magistrate, Paul Goldspring, will rule on whether he has the jurisdiction to try the case.

The Belfast musician was greeted by hundreds of supporters as he arrived at Westminster magistrates court on Wednesday for a three-hour hearing.

…

During the hearing on Wednesday, his defence team argued the case should be thrown out, citing a technical error in the way the charge against him was brought.

Brenda Campbell KC told the court the attorney general had not given permission for the case to be brought against the defendant when police informed him he was to face a terror charge on 21 May. She said consent was given the following day, but that meant the charge fell outside the six-month timeframe in which criminal charges against a defendant can be brought.

The prosecutor Michael Bisgrove said permission was not required until the defendant’s first court appearance and that permission did not need to be sought in order to bring a criminal charge.

dizzy: I can anticipate Mo Chara appealing if it comes to that. It’s almost as ridiculous as people charged under terrorism laws for holding a placard! It’s widely accepted that it’ s the UK government that needs to be charged and prosecuted for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

IRISH rap trio Kneecap hit out today over the charging in Britain of one of the group’s members with a terrorism offence, branding it “political policing” and a “carnival of distraction.”

Liam Og O hAnnaidh, known by his stage name Mo Chara, was charged under anti-terror laws for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag during a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, on November 21.

The 27-year-old is due to appear at Westminster magistrates’ court on June 18.

In a statement, the group said that “14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British Establishment is focused on us.

“We deny this ‘offence’ and will vehemently defend ourselves; this is political policing, this is a carnival of distraction.

“We are not the story, genocide is. As they profit from genocide, they use an ‘anti-terror law’ against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage.”
