The UK government has lost its appeal over a judge’s decision to throw out a terror charge against a member of the Irish language rap trio Kneecap.
Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, had been accused of showing support for proscribed organisation Hezbollah following a gig in London in 2024.
Last year, the case was thrown out over a legal timing issue, prompting the government’s appeal.
On Wednesday, judges at the High Court in London said the 28-year-old would not face a new terror trial after it rejected a Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) appeal.
but it isn’t a “both sides”. one is a mighty military racist apartheid state conducting genocides and ethnic cleansing, the other is a local resistance movement. without Israel, Hezbollah or Hamas would not exist the way they do. and saying it should be illegal to support them because they are homophobic is a bullshit reason, given that they are fighting an homophobic state. not in favor of their homophobia, but I think they should have the right to resist illegal occupations and their own genocides.
