A member of the Northern Irish rap trio Kneecap has been charged with a terrorism offense after allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert. The musicians say they'll 'vehemently defend ourselves.'

“British establishment is focused on us”, Kneecap added. “They profit from genocide, they use an ‘anti-terror law’ against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage. A charge not serious enough to even warrant their ‘crown court’, instead a court that doesn’t have a jury.” Read the full statement below.

"We are on the right side of history," the Irish rap trio said in a statement after Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh was charged with displaying a Hezbollah flag.
