A Belfast rapper faces dismissal of terrorism charge over delayed consent to prosecute.
Liam Og O hAnnaidh, a member of the Belfast rap group Kneecap known as Mo Chara, is awaiting a ruling on whether his terrorism charge will be dismissed.
He faces allegations of displaying a Hezbollah flag during a November 2024 London concert, with his legal team arguing the case should be thrown out due to a procedural delay—the Attorney General’s consent was granted just after the six-month deadline for such charges.
The case is being heard at Woolwich Crown Court, where Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring will decide on jurisdiction.
Kneecap has criticized the Metropolitan Police for enforcing a Section 14 order restricting supporters near the courthouse, calling it politically motivated and aimed at minimizing public visibility.
O hAnnaidh, who remains on unconditional bail and has not entered a plea, has drawn large crowds at previous appearances.
The outcome hinges on whether the court accepts the defense’s procedural argument.
