Kneecap Band Member Charged With Terror Offence In The UK Over Display Of Flag Supporting Banned Terror Group Hezbollah

The Lebanese Shia Islamist political party and paramilitary group is proscribed as a terrorist organisation and banned under UK law. The UK’s Metropolitan Polce said O’Hanna, whose stage name is Mo Chara, had been charged via postal requisition. The charge follows the band running into the hot water at the Coachella in the U.S. in April after they projected “fuck Israel,” “free Palestine” and other messages of protest against U.S. support of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza on the screen of music and arts festival’s Sonora Stage.
