Kneecap face new legal threat as British government appeals Mo Chara charges
He's back in court on January 14 over Hezbollah allegations
Kneecap's hopes that 2026 will be a little less fraught than last year have immediately been thwarted by today's announcement that the British government is appealing the Magistrates Court decision not to proceed with charges against Mo Chara.
Taking to social media, the band say:
"The Brits are at it again...
"The British government has issued us notice that they will appeal the decision of their own magistrates court to throw out the case against Mo Chara.
"It is the view of our legal team that there is not an iota of logic for this, it is without any sound legal basis.
"It is another flailing arm to distract from, and to try and silence those who stand on the right side of history as they are complicit.
"As Israel today moves to ban charitable organisations providing lifesaving aid and primitive shelter to millions, the British state once again turns to vilify those who oppose genocide.
"It will be heard on Jan 14th at the High Court, Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand, London.
"We will not be silent.
"FREE PALESTINE."
The Brits are at it again...
