The UK government has lost its appeal over a judge’s decision to throw out a terror charge against a member of the Irish language rap trio Kneecap.
Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, had been accused of showing support for proscribed organisation Hezbollah following a gig in London in 2024.
Last year, the case was thrown out over a legal timing issue, prompting the government’s appeal.
On Wednesday, judges at the High Court in London said the 28-year-old would not face a new terror trial after it rejected a Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) appeal.
No fucking shit, it’s not a serious argument equating criticism of fascist Israel with bigotry against jews never was. It’s a bully. Bully, bully bully. Fuck them though, we, don’t cave to bullies.
