The law requires approval from both the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Attorney General before charging, but these consents came a day after the six-month limit passed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The judge called the prosecution&#8217;s claim that consent could wait until court illogical and declared the case had no legal standing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#8220;If anyone on this planet is guilty of terrorism, it&#8217;s the British state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kneecap&#8217;s Mo Chara (Liam \u00d3g \u00d3 hAnnaidh) delivers a speech to supporters outside Woolwich Crown Court, London, after the terrorism case against him was thrown out. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tYwLNDCQ4D\">pic.twitter.com\/tYwLNDCQ4D<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NewstalkFM (@NewstalkFM) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewstalkFM\/status\/1971538990282002842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 26, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-exactly-was-liam-og-o-hannaidh-accused-of\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0\">What Exactly Was Liam \u00d3g \u00d3 hAnnaidh Accused Of?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Under the Terrorism Act, the rapper was charged with showing a Hezbollah flag in a way that suggested support for a banned terrorist group. Britain classifies Hezbollah as terrorist, making the display of its symbols illegal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The charge came from a November 2024 concert when he allegedly wore the flag and chanted militant slogans. Liam said the flag was thrown onstage by a fan and he didn\u2019t initially know its meaning.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-did-mo-chara-and-his-supporters-respond\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0\">How Did Mo Chara and His Supporters Respond?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">The courtroom cheered the dismissal loudly. Outside, \u00d3 hAnnaidh wore a Palestinian scarf and told supporters that the case was a political attack silencing critics of Israel\u2019s Gaza policy.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.lbc.co.uk\/images\/757260?crop=16_9&amp;width=660&amp;relax=1&amp;format=webp&amp;signature=3EnwT0ImhaNohyJZJpuC-yU0xg4=\" alt=\"Why Was Kneecap Rapper Liam \u00d3g \u00d3 hAnnaidh Terrorism Charges Dropped\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Why Was Kneecap Rapper Liam \u00d3g \u00d3 hAnnaidh Terrorism Charges Dropped<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">He said the case never concerned terrorism or public danger, but freedom to speak about Gaza. His lawyer called the case unjust and flawed, and the band\u2019s manager celebrated on social media, saying the ruling was a defeat for political policing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-impact-does-this-decision-have-on-kneecap\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0\">What Impact Does This Decision Have on Kneecap?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">This is the group\u2019s second legal win recently after beating the UK government over a canceled arts grant. Yet the band faces ongoing obstacles internationally: they canceled a U.S. tour, were banned from Canada (accused of promoting violence), and can\u2019t enter Hungary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\">Still, the London ruling is a major legal victory. The Crown Prosecution Service is reviewing the outcome and may appeal, while police will consider the case\u2019s effects on future prosecutions.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/247newsaroundtheworld.com\/people\/assata-shakur-wikipedia-bio-and-age-who-was-she\/\"><strong>Also Read: Assata Shakur Wikipedia Bio And Age: Who Was She?
