Prosecutors appeal against decision to throw out terror case against Kneecap rapper

Britain's Crown Prosecution Service said in a short statement it would be appealing against the decision because 'we believe there is an important point of law which needs to be clarified'

Prosecutors in Britain will appeal against a court’s decision to throw out the terrorism case against Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh.

The 27-year-old was accused of displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in November last year until a technical error in the way he was charged led to the chief magistrate ruling he could not try the case.
