(LBC) Kneecap rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh has had his terror charge dismissed on a technicality after blundering CPS officials failed to ask the attorney general for approval.
Mr O hAnnaidh, 27, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was accused of displaying a flag in support of the terrorist group Hezbollah at a gig in November last year.
But the charge of allegedly supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation was thrown out on a technicality because Lord Hermer was a day too late in giving permission for the prosecution to go ahead. He is required to approve charges in terror cases where alleged offences relate to other countries. Hezbollah is based in Lebanon.
