Prosecutors to appeal against decision to throw out terror case against Mo Chara

BREAKING

Mo Chara, whose real name is Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, was charged with the alleged display of a flag in support of proscribed terror group Hezbollah at a concert last November, however the case against him was dismissed due to an error.

The chief magistrate, Paul Goldspring, told Woolwich Crown Court that the charge brought against Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was 'unlawful' and that he had no jurisdiction to try the case.

A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson said: "We are appealing the decision to dismiss this case as we believe there is an important point of law which needs to be clarified."
