Kneecap Rapper Liam O’Hanna Charged With Terrorism Offense in London

Liam O’Hanna — a member of the Irish-language rap group Kneecap — has been charged with a terrorism offense … according to the Metropolitan Police in London.

The rapper — who goes by his Irish name Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh online — was charged with displaying a flag in support of the terrorist organization Hezbollah.

The incident in question appears to be related to a November 2024 concert, where Liam held out a bright yellow flag with green lettering … which appears to be a flag of the terrorist group.

Officers claim the act aroused “reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organization, namely Hizballah” — a violation of Britain’s Terrorism Act 2000.

Kneecap has repeatedly shown support for the Palestinian people, condemning the Israeli government for its bombing of Gaza — and likening it to Britain’s own campaigns against the Irish people for centuries.

The Irish hip hop group has gained a massive following in the past year since a movie about the trio — starring the three members, alongside more veteran actors like Michael Fassbender — was released in August 2024. It won several awards from smaller associations.

Liam’s scheduled to be in court in London on June 18.
