Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, better known by his stage name Mo Chara, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 14 August 2025. He is facing a terrorism-related charge for allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag during a performance in London on 3 November 2023. The Lebanese group has been banned in the United Kingdom since 2019, making any public display of support an offence.
Ó hAnnaidh, 27, was formally charged in May 2025 under the name Liam O'Hanna. His legal team is attempting to have the case dismissed on the grounds that the charge was filed outside the legal six-month time limit, though prosecutors maintain that the date of charge was within the required window.
