The State of Us - Bonus: Kneecap’s Mo Chara terrorism case thrown out
Download Bonus: Kneecap’s Mo Chara terrorism case thrown out
A bonus episode of the State of Us after the terrorism case against Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was thrown out.
Kelly Bonner joins Declan from outside Woolwich Crown Court to bring us how the case fell apart as well as reaction from the band.
The rapper who performs under the stage name Mo Chara was charged in May after allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah at a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, London, in November 2024.
He denied the charge and has described it as political.
We examine the technicality that brought the prosecution down, and what this means for Kneecap.
