A Kneecap rapper accused of waving a Hezbollah flag at a gig has appeared in court, aided by an Irish language interpreter.
Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, is accused of displaying a flag in support of the terrorist group Hezbollah at a gig in November last year.
He was charged with a terrorism offence following the alleged incident during the concert at the O2 Forum Kentish Town 'in such a way or in such a circumstance as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organisation'.
He arrived wearing a keffiyeh and an all-black outfit. In court, he removed a cap and sunglasses before sitting beside an interpreter outside the dock.
Mr Ó hAnnaidh had requested to have an interpreter present, which was approved by the judge.
