Kneecap said they will \u201cnot be silent\u201d ahead of a further legal challenge over a court\u2019s decision to throw out the terrorism case against rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh.<\/p>\n
O hAnnaidh was accused of displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in November 2024, until a technical error in the way he was charged led to the chief magistrate ruling he could not try the case.<\/p>\n
The rap trio said in a post on X on Thursday morning that the Government has issued them with a notice that it intends to appeal against the court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n
Last year, the Crown Prosecution Service said it would be appealing against the decision because \u201cwe believe there is an important point of law which needs to be clarified\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the X post, Kneecap said: \u201cThe Brits are at it again\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe British government has issued us notice that they will appeal the decision of their own magistrates court to throw out the case against Mo Chara (O hAnnaidh\u2019s stage name).<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is the view of our legal team that there is not an iota of logic for this, it is without any sound legal basis.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is another flailing arm to distract from, and to try and silence those who stand on the right side of history as they are complicit.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Israel today moves to ban charitable organisations providing lifesaving aid and primitive shelter to millions, the British state once again turns to vilify those who oppose genocide.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be heard on Jan 14th at the High Court, Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand, London.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will not be silent. Free Palestine.\u201d<\/p>\n
