UK prosecutor says it will appeal decision to throw out case against Kneecap's Mo Chara

"The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has said it will appeal against the decision of the chief magistrate to throw out the case against Kneecap rapper Liam Og Ó hAnnaidh."

"The 27-year-old, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was alleged to have displayed a flag in support of proscribed terror organisation Hezbollah at a gig last November."

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will appeal the chief magistrate's decision to throw out the case against Liam Ó hAnnaidh. Liam Ó hAnnaidh, 27, performs under the stage name Mo Chara and is a member of the rap group Kneecap. He was alleged to have displayed a flag in support of the proscribed organisation Hezbollah at a gig in November. The chief magistrate dismissed the case, prompting the CPS to seek permission to challenge that ruling. The appeal indicates that prosecutors intend to pursue the matter further through the courts.
