🧵2/3: Thanks to the #London#Irish Brigade for organising the protest this morning at #Westminster's Magistrates Court in support of #kneecap's own Mo Chara (which I've learnt means "my friend" 🥹), thanks to all musicians and people who'd travelled from #Ireland and Bristol at impossible hours to be counted 🫡.

🧵3/3: Liam aka Mo Chara from #kneecap leaving #Westminster Magistrates this afternoon. Special mention to #frankriot for her amazing street signage and last but not least, #FreePalestine🇵🇸 ✊🏽!

#Kneecap trial today

Had Ó hAnnaidh been prosecuted in Northern Ireland prior to February 2024, a 1737 Act of Parliament would have prohibited the use of Irish in court. Even now, following the introduction of the Identity and Language (Northern Ireland) Act, there are no procedures in place to protect a right to use Irish in Northern Irish courtrooms.

I'm curious to see which language he chooses to use

FYI - No action action against #Kneecap for their Glastonbury set. Definitely worth spreading that news far and wide.
