Hundreds attend solidarity gig in Dublin for Kneecap rapper
Hundreds of people have attended a music session in Dublin city in solidarity with Kneecap rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh after he appeared in court on Wednesday. Kneecap flags and logos hung from the windows in Connolly Books, which dubs itself Ireland's oldest radical bookshop, in solidarity with O hAnnaidh, Kneecap, and the people of Palestine. Pro-Palestine supporters criticised the decision by British authorities to bring a charge against the performer instead of focusing on the Israeli government's actions against the Palestinian people. O hAnnaidh, 27, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, is accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in November last year. Hundreds of Kneecap supporters greeted O hAnnaidh as he arrived at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on Wednesday morning, alongside fellow Kneecap rappers Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh. During the hearing, his defence team argued the case should be thrown out, citing a technical error in the way the charge against him was brought. The case has been adjourned until September 26, when the judge will rule on whether he has the jurisdiction to try the case. At the protest session at Connolly Books on Wednesday afternoon, several artists played Irish traditional music in solidarity with Kneecap. Dubliner Aoife Powell, 19, said she came out to protest because she is 'angry' at the decision to charge an artist rather than focus on what is happening to the people of Gaza. 'I'm here because it just worries me that the fact that governments are focused on artists expressing themselves rather than the actual problem, which is obviously the genocide in Gaza,' she told the PA news agency. 'It's a little bit disheartening to see there's so much pressure being put on these artists to stop saying what they truly think and to stop standing on the right side of history. 'I feel like it's a distraction from what's actually happening. 'When a government tries to silence people, they should learn that they can never silence people. I feel like the public would get more angry at that.' Sean O'Grady is from Coleraine in Northern Ireland but has lived in Dublin for almost 70 years. 'I'm delighted with them (Kneecap), that they've done what they're doing, and they're getting plenty of publicity. 'The British government are crazy, I mean, what are they at? 'They're supplying a lot of the bombs, and a lot of the arms and ammunition to Israel to do what they're doing. So they should be ashamed of themselves instead of bringing in these people (to court) for stupid reasons. 'It's getting good publicity over there for the cause of the Palestinians.' Dubliner Dermot Nolan said he attended his first Palestine protest in 1967, and while he remembers horrific events such as the Vietnam War, the scale of death and injuries in Gaza is the worst he has ever lived through. 'I'm here because it's important to for two reasons – first of all, to show our intolerance of the genocide and slaughter that's being carried out by the US, Nato and Israel. 'The second reason is the question of civil rights. We're protesting about the indictment of a member of the Irish group Kneecap. 'It is a sign of creeping authoritarianism which is happening in all the western countries and most clearly in Britain.'

Transgender woman ‘sexually assaulted man by concealing male genitalia from him during date night'
A TRANSGENDER woman has gone on trial accused of sexual assault by concealing she had male genitalia from a man she was on a date with. Ciara Watkin, 21, spent the night with her alleged victim after they had exchanged messages on Snapchat, a court heard. 4 Prosecutor Paul Reid told the jury how Watkin performed sex acts on the man after he arrived at her house. But she refused to let him touch her, claiming she was on her period, it was said. Watkin later messaged him to admit she had a 'massive secret' to which he replied to ask if she was pregnant. Instead, she revealed: 'I'm trans. I'm sorry I didn't tell you." The man messaged: "WTF. So you have a d***?". He added: "OMFG. I feel ill," before reporting her to the police. Mr Reid said: "The defendant had concealed from the man that she had a penis, during their brief relationship. "The man told the police that if he had known Watkin was transgender, he would not have consented. He said: 'I don't swing that way'." The court heard that Watkin's Snapchat profile used a female cartoon avatar and that there had been no discussion about sexuality or gender. When arrested, Watkin told officers: "Me and him had sex without me telling him I was a boy. When I let him know I was a different gender, he didn't like it." Mr Reid added: 'She agreed that sexual activity had taken place." Watkin, of Thornaby, Teesside, denies two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual assault by penetration. 4 4
