Kneecap’s Mo Chara Granted Unconditional Bail at First Hearing on Terror Charge

Kneecap's Mo Chara was released on bail at his first court appearance in London on a terror charge tied to his alleged display of a Hezbollah flag.

Kneecap’s Mo Chara was released on unconditional bail at his first court appearance in London on terror charges tied to an incident where he allegedly displayed a Hezbollah flag at a concert. At Wednesday’s hearing, prosecutor Michael Bisgrove insisted the case was not about Ó hAnnaidh’s support for Palestine or criticism of Israel, adding that he is “well within his rights to voice his opinions and solidarity, as is anybody else” (via The Associated Press). While the concert took place on Nov. 21, 2024, London Metropolitan police only became aware of the alleged incident in late April 2025, not long after Kneecap’s controversial set at Coachella, where they displayed messages about the war in Gaza.
