A member of the anti-Israel rap ban Kneecap has been charged with a terror offence in relation to a video allegedly showing him draped in a Hezbollah flag.

Liam O’Hanna, stage name Mo Chara, is accused of displaying a flag in support of a proscribed organisation during a 2024 gig in London.

The band, which hit the headlines after projecting the slogan “f*** Israel, free Palestine” above its set at Coachella last month, came under scrutiny after a pair of contentious clips resurfaced online.

One showed a member of the band shout “the only good Tory is a dead Tory” and “kill your local MP”.
