The rapper, 27, real name Liam Og O hAnnaidh, was again greeted by hundreds of fans as he arrived at court in London.

He is accused of displaying a flag in support of terror group Hezbollah at a gig in the city last year.

O hAnnaidh, who was supported by bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh, was swamped by photographers as he arrived.

After the hearing, he told supporters the case was a “distraction from the real story” and urged everyone to “continue to speak about Palestine”.
