Kneecap, an Irish rap trio, has announced a surprise performance in London following a member's charge related to alleged support for Hezbollah. Liam Og O hAnnaidh, alias Mo Chara, faces charges after displaying a flag at a previous gig. The band defends their actions, labeling the charges as political suppression, and emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about humanitarian crises, such as starvation in Gaza. They dismissed the seriousness of the charge, labeling it a distraction from broader societal issues as they continue their UK tour.
...14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world... the British establishment is focused on us. We deny this offence and will vehemently defend ourselves.
This is political policing, this is a carnival of distraction. We are not the story, genocide is, as they profit from genocide...they use an anti-terror law against us.
