LONDON: A UK court on Friday threw out a charge of supporting terrorism brought against a Northern Irish singer from the punk rap group Kneecap which had provoked an outcry among its fans. Cheers erupted from supporters inside and outside the London court when the judge found there had been a technical error in the case against Liam O’Hanna and told him he was “free to go.” Speaking outside Woolwich Crown Court, in southeast London, O’Hanna said the decision showed attempts to muzzle the band’s very vocal support for the Palestinians had failed.

The case against Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh is thrown out following a technical error in the way the charge against him was brought.
