US EditionKneecap's Mo Chara Faces Charges for Alleged Support of Terrorist Group, Court Told - Liverpool Echo
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUN 18 – Mo Chara was released on unconditional bail after being charged with supporting a proscribed terrorist group following a November 2024 concert incident, amid strong public and industry support.
- Liam Og O hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on June 18 facing terror charges related to a November 2024 gig.
- The charges stem from a video showing him waving a Hezbollah flag and shouting 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah,' which prosecutors say signals support for a banned terrorist organisation.
- Members of Kneecap entered the court clad in 'Free Mo Chara' shirts, greeted by hundreds of fans outside chanting 'Free Palestine' and affirming that they do not endorse Hamas or Hezbollah.
- Prosecutor Michael Bisgrove stated the case focuses on alleged Hezbollah support, not Mo Chara's right to criticize Israel, and Mo Chara was released on unconditional bail with a next hearing set for August 20.
- The prosecution has sparked claims of political policing and a rushed case following Kneecap's international rise, while supporters pledge to defend freedom of speech and protest.
