flag Irish hip-hop group Kneecap banned from Canada over alleged terrorism ties and hate speech, which they deny.

flag Irish hip-hop group Kneecap has been barred from entering Canada, with officials citing alleged support for terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas, as well as claims of hate speech and glorification of political violence. flag The decision, announced by Parliamentary Secretary Vince Gasparro, stems from the group's pro-Palestinian stance, a member's UK terrorism charge over displaying a Hezbollah flag, and pressure from Jewish advocacy groups. flag Kneecap denies all allegations, calling them false and malicious, and has announced plans to sue Canada’s government. flag The ban has sparked debate over free expression, security, and political speech, with civil liberties advocates questioning its basis and the government maintaining it aligns with Canadian law.
