Kneecap banned from Canada for ‘glorifying terrorist organisations’

The Canadian government has banned rap trio Kneecap from entering the country over allegedly “glorifying terrorist organisations” – with the band announcing they will take legal action against the “wholly untrue and deeply malicious” accusations.

The Belfast group, made up of Naoise Ó Cairealláin, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh and JJ Ó Dochartaigh, are known for their provocative lyrics and merchandise, as well as their pro-Palestine stance.
