Supporters of rap trio Kneecap have gathered at the Royal Courts of Justice in London ahead of an appeal against the decision to throw out a terrorism charge brought against one of the group's members last year.

The UK government is appealing the September 2025 decision to dismiss the case against Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, which was thrown out on technical grounds relating to how the charge against him was brought.

He 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.

The 28-year-old, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, had denied the charge and described it as political.

Supporters arrived just before 09:00 GMT carrying Irish tricolours and Palestinian flags and various signs.
