CPS to appeal against dismissal of terrorism charge against Kneecap’s Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh

The rapper was accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah but case was thrown out by magistrate

Prosecutors will appeal against a court’s decision to throw out a terrorism charge against Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh.

The 27-year-old was accused of displaying a flag in support of the proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in November last year until a technical error in the way he was charged led to the chief magistrate ruling he could not try the case.
