Kneecap Band Member Liam O’Hanna Charged With Terror Offense in the U.K.
Kneecap's Liam O'Hanna has been charged with a terror offense in the U.K. for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a gig in London.
Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Lebanese Shia militia that the United States has designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization, is banned in the U.K., with the BBC reporting that it is illegal to express support for the group. The update is just the latest development in a series of controversies for Kneecap, which made headlines in April for ending its Coachella set with the following message displayed onscreen: “Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people.
