A rapper from the Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap left a London court to cheers from supporters, telling the crowd a terrorism charge against him was « a distraction from the real story » of Israel’s actions in the Palestinian territories.  Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who was initially charged under the Anglicized name Liam O’Hanna and whose stage name is Mo Chara, is alleged to have waved the yellow flag of Iran-backed Lebanese militia Hezbollah during a Kneecap gig in London on November 21, 2024. The 27-year-old was charged in May under the Terrorism Act, which makes it a criminal offense to display an article in a way which arouses reasonable suspicion that someone is a supporter of a proscribed organization. #kneecap #israel #palestinianterritories #rapper #court
