Prosecutors will appeal the dismissal of a terrorism charge against Kneecap rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh. He was accused of displaying a flag in support of the proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in November last year. A technical error in the way he was charged led the chief magistrate to rule that the court could not try the case. The Crown Prosecution Service said it would be appealing because it believes an important point of law needs to be clarified. After the hearing that dismissed the case, O hAnnaidh vowed the rap trio would not be silenced. More details are to follow.
