Decision delayed in London flag display charge against Kneecap rapper
1 of 2 | Kneecap performed at the Glastonbury Festival on June 28. Kneecap's Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs as Mo Chara, faces charges in London for displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah. File Photo by Hugo Philpott/UPI | License Photo Aug. 20 (UPI) -- The decision about a trial for a member of the rap group Kneecap accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah in London last year has been postponed. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court Wednesday, BBC reported. He was met by a large crowd of supporters, many with Palestinian flags. Ó hAnnaidh, 27, performs under the stage name Mo Chara. The Belfast musician denies the charge and said the case is "political." He told a crowd of supporters after his court appearance that the case was a distraction from what is happening in Gaza. Prosecutors allege Ó hAnnaidh displayed a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, last November. Ó hAnnaidh has not entered a plea to the charge and is on unconditional bail. Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring will rule Sept. 26 on whether he has jurisdiction to try the case. In court, Ó hAnnaidh sat beside an Irish language interpreter. The court heard three hours of arguments about whether the charge was brought within the six-month time limit. His defense team is seeking to get the case thrown out, citing a technical error in the way the charge against him was brought. Metropolitan police also arrested a man outside the court on suspicion of supporting the Palestine Action group. "A man remains in police custody after being arrested on suspicion of supporting a proscribed terrorist group, Palestine Action, in Marylebone Road, NW1, this morning," a spokesperson for the police said. On July 24, Kneecap was banned by the Hungarian government "for anti-Semitism and glorifying terrorism" for their support of Palestine and criticism of Israel.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Lilo & Stitch actor David Hekili Kenui Bell died on June 12 at the age of 46. According to the autopsy report issued by the Hawaii Police Department, obtained by People, four "pathological diagnoses" were listed: "acute respiratory failure, sepsis, hypertensive/atherosclerotic heart disease and morbid obesity." Newsweek reached out to the Hawaii Police Department on Wednesday via email outside regular working hours for comment. The Context Bell starred as the "Big Hawaiian Dude" in the 2025 live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch. Other credits to his name include Magnum P.I. and Hawaii Five-0. An obituary shared in the Hawaii Tribune Herald states he was also a brand ambassador for the Kona Brewing Company. David Hekili Kenui Bell in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, in July 2024. David Hekili Kenui Bell in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, in July 2024. David Hekili Kenui Bell/Facebook What To Know The autopsy was performed on June 19 and concluded on July 10. The report revealed that medical intervention was attempted on Bell with defibrillator pads on his chest, a blood pressure cuff on his arm, an airway in his mouth and IV access. Additionally, the autopsy found Bell had stasis dermatitis and edema. According to the Mayo Clinic, stasis dermatitis "occurs when varicose veins or other circulatory conditions cause fluids to build up in the lower legs. The swelling produces pressure beneath the skin and slows the flow of blood and oxygen to the skin." Edema is "swelling caused by too much fluid trapped in the body's tissues." Toxicology tests showed no evidence of drugs or alcohol in Bell's system. What People Are Saying Bell's sister, Jalene Kanani Bell, confirmed his death in a June 15 Facebook post: "It is with a heavy heart I share that my sweet, generous, talented, funny, brilliant and handsome little brother David H. K. Bell will spend today in the company of our Heavenly Father. I've been waiting for the words and mindset to properly express the joy of a human, and Prince of a Man he was, but fate pushed my hand this morning by a pre-scheduled Father's Day newsletter honoring the men in our lives. "I met my little brother at the age of 18, on my high school graduation day, it was the most amazing surprise which I had been asking for for years, that our mom's made happen for us, and that gift has lasted a lifetime. "While I didn't grow up with a Father, David gave me all the unconditional love I could possibly ask for and I believe that all his family and friends received the same from him. He was always so proud of me, his nieces and his grandnephew, constantly engaged and always coming up with fun activities to get-together. We looked forward to going to Tatihi and the Lindsey reunion together to create more family connections. "David loved being an actor, doing voiceovers, spending time with Brutus traveling as an ambassador for Kona Brew. The film industry and entertainment was so exciting to him and I loved that he enjoyed the arts. He went to Punahou and Kalani while our dad spoke Hawaiian so his ability to deliver lines with English understanding, Indigenous knowledge and Pidgen to da him a diamond in the rough. "You can hear him over the PA system on arrival at Kona Airport where he loved working to create an awesome and safe customer experience. "He was and will remain a bright and shining star. He recently made it on to the big screen with an iconic Lilo & Stich momment. "He planned ahead and purchased the best seats in the house for us all to go together to opening night in Kapolei just two short weeks ago. That's one trait we didn't share, planning ahead:) We talked about and were so energized by the fans dressed in L&S gear head to toe, t-shirts, onezees, hats, mask, and the merch galore flying off the shelf as we stood in line for pop-corn. "I said we should get shave ice after the movie and reenact the sceen but then realized the store was already closed. To celebrate him and try to ease our grief we went to get shave ice and my grandson's emotion was on point. "To Aunty Gerry and the Kenui 'Ohana you raised an amazing human who became the most loving and supportive man in my life and I am eternally grateful. I share this grief with our older sister Kehau Bell, and my younger sister, Lara Leimana, who while not a Bell, loved and adored him as her own. "He enjoyed social media and I'll be resharing some of my favorite post he made, and some I am just seeing for the first time that I missed, because they are so funny and heartwarming. "Hug your loved ones last time together after returning home from the movie was just sitting on my living room couch talking story about life, having a seltzer and doing a little genealogy. Blessed by this and all the big and small moments, I will keep our memories alive. What Happens Next Walt Disney Studios paid tribute to Bell in a June 17 post on its official Instagram account, saying that the "kind, caring" actor "will forever be a member of the Disney and Lilo & Stitch family.

Hundreds of protesters turn up to support Irish rapper as he appears in court on terror charge
A rapper from Irish language rap group Kneecap was greeted by hundreds of supporters waving flags and holding banners as he arrived in court on Wednesday morning on a terror charge. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs as Mo Chara, has been accused of displaying a flag in support of the Lebanese group, Hezbollah who are a designated terror group in the UK. London's Metropolitan Police launched an investigation in April after a video surfaced online of Ó hAnnaidh allegedly displaying the flag during a London gig in 2024. Ó hAnnaidh has denied the charges, saying he does not support Hezbollah and called his prosecution a 'carnival of distraction' deflecting from current events in Gaza. A scrum with photographers broke out as Ó hAnnaidh arrived at London's Westminster Magistrates Court, alongside fellow bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh, as crowds waved Palestinian flags and chanted loudly, 'Free Mo Chara.' Ó hAnnaidh spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address to the court at the start of the hearing. The court heard legal arguments, with Ó hAnnaidh's defense team seeking to throw the case out, arguing it was not brought within the legal limit of six months. Judge Paul Goldspring adjourned the case until September 26, when he will give his decision. The 27-year-old left court without entering a plea, and will be required to appear at the next hearing. Leaving the courthouse, he was met with chants of 'Drop the charges now' from his supporters. The investigation was launched shortly after an appearance by the band at the California music festival, Coachella, at which they projected messages onstage about Israel's war in Gaza. On Tuesday evening, police announced public order restrictions on the protests in order to 'prevent serious disruption,' confining gatherings to a designated area outside the court. From early on Wednesday morning, crowds of protesters congregated outside the central London court. Speaking to CNN, one supporter, Mike McCusker, 62, said he had been following Kneecap since 2019. 'I've seen them a dozen times, they've always stood against oppression,' he said. Kneecap, who rap mainly in Irish, have steadily built up an international fanbase, gaining praise for their efforts to revitalize the Irish language. Formed in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2017, the band have sought to modernize the language through their rap songs depicting their experiences growing up in the wake of a decades long sectarian conflict, the Troubles. Laden with references to drug and alcohol use and critiques of the British government, the band's music has made them no stranger to controversy over the years. In 2024, the trio released their second studio album 'Fine Art' and a self-titled semi-autobiographical feature film which won acclaim from critics and scooped up awards at both the British Independent Film Awards and the Sundance Film Festival. The band have been long-time advocates for the rights of Palestinians. Their performance at UK music festival Glastonbury in June became mired in controversy after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the group should not have been allowed to perform in light of the charges faced by Ó hAnnaidh. The group are next set to play at several more European festivals this summer before a headline gig in London's Wembley Arena on September 18. CNN's Sophie Tanno contributed reporting.
