Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning

The Persecution of Kneecap: A legal perspective with Joe Brolly, barrister-at-law


Listen Later

When Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with terror offences, it made global headlines. The world reported the charge that the man had allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah in November 2024.

Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh is better known as Mo Chara of Kneecap and he is alleged to have committed the act at a gig in Kentish Town in London 18 months ago. He denies the charge.

On Free State today, Joe provides a legal insight into the charge and what it is intended to do. They look too at the story of Hezbollah and why they are a more complex organisation than some allow.

They also consider the chilling effect when artists worldwide are silenced and why it is happening now.
