The British judiciary has dropped charges against Kneecap rapper Mo Chara, accused of a "terrorism offence" for displaying a Hezbollah flag during a 2024 concert.
The case against the artist, whose real name is Liam O’Hanna (or Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh in Gaelic), was dismissed due to a procedural error.
A judge at the Woolwich Crown Court ruled that the prosecution had been initiated unlawfully, rendering the proceedings invalid.
The decision sparked cheers from the rapper’s supporters present in the courtroom.
