The Northern Irish rap trio Kneecap have described a terror offence charge against one of their members as “political policing” that is intended to stifle criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza.
“14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us,” the group said in a statement on X on Thursday. “This is a carnival of distraction. We are not the story, genocide is.”
