Police have ‘proportionate and considered' plan ahead of Glasgow Kneecap gig
Police Scotland say they have a 'proportionate and considered policing plan' ahead of Kneecap's gig in Glasgow, which replaces their cancelled slot at the TRNSMT festival. Kneecap were axed from the line-up of TRNSMT in the city amid a row over an investigation by counter-terror police into rapper Mo Chara, who is accused of terrorism offences related to a Hezbollah flag he allegedly held up on stage. The satirical Belfast rap group, who perform in Irish, have been outspoken critics of the war in Gaza and said the prosecution – following an investigation by the Met Police – is linked to their views on Palestine. TRNSMT cancelled Kneecap's performance at the end of May over safety concerns by Police Scotland. On Tuesday, they are set to perform a sold-out gig at the O2 Academy in Glasgow, days before TRNSMT begins on Friday. As well as Kneecap, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar are also performing in Glasgow on Tuesday. Police Scotland say they will aim to minimise disruption in the city. In May, First Minister John Swinney urged for TRNSMT to cancel the performance on July 11, saying that 'organisers of TRNSMT have got to consider that issue.' Mo Chara, also known as Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged under the name Liam O'Hanna by the Metropolitan Police in May, over the alleged display of a Hezbollah flag at a gig, and appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. The furore led to calls from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch for Glastonbury to cancel a performance from the Belfast rappers on June 28, which the festival organisers did not do. Despite being cancelled from TRNSMT, Kneecap are still due to perform scheduled shows at 2000trees rock festival on July 10, Wythenshawe Park in Manchester on August 15 and Belfast Vital on August 29 – nine days after O hAnnaidh's next court appearance. At the last hearing, prosecutor Michael Bisgrove said: 'It's not about Mr O hAnnaidh's support for the people of Palestine or his criticism of Israel. 'He's well within his rights to voice his opinions and solidarity, as is anybody else. 'The allegation in this case is a wholly different thing and deals with a video recording showing that, in November of last year, Mr O hAnnaidh wore and displayed the flag of Hezbollah, a proscribed terrorist organisation, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah'.' Kneecap have said they have 'never supported' Hamas or Hezbollah, which are banned in the UK. Superintendent Paul Douglas said: 'We are aware of a number of events and concerts due to take place in the Greater Glasgow area in the week beginning Monday July 7 2025. 'A proportionate and considered policing plan is in place within the city and we are working with a number of stakeholders to ensure the safety of all those attending these events and where possible minimise disruption to the people of Glasgow.'

Police raids take place across Glasgow - Here's why
His comments came after a police operation got underway today which led to the discovery of suspected cannabis farms located within properties across the city. Detective Inspector Chris Hughes said: 'This is a multi-division crime group who are using victims of human trafficking to grow their organisation and we are seeing cultivations throughout the divisions. They vary in size and are very professional in there set up. The biggest thing we are seeing is people being exploited within those cultivations. 'We want to make sure that serious organised crime isn't allowed to flourish in Scotland." (Image: Images taken by Robert Perry, Newsquest) (Image: Images taken by Robert Perry, Newsquest) (Image: Images taken by Robert Perry, Newsquest) Three people were arrested after several properties were raided in the city this morning in relation to suspected illegal activity. The arrests were made as part of Police Scotland's Operation Kendrew, which is a multi-division effort in collaboration with the G, D, and J Divisions as well as the National Human Trafficking Unit (NHTU). The Glasgow Times accompanied cops to one of the properties in the East End where officers broke down the door with a baton ram before entering the property. As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of cannabis filled the air. One man was arrested at the address, and a large number of cannabis plants were found. More arrests were made across the other two properties where cannabis cultivations were also found. The values of the discoveries are unknown at this stage. (Image: Detective Sergeant Chris Hughes.

He added: 'Today was a concerted effort to tackle human trafficking in Scotland. 'This is a long-running investigation and we're ultimately looking to target the upper echelon of that group and dismantle their operations in Scotland.' He continued: 'The NHTU are heavily involved in targeting the groups that work in Scotland. 'We are completely reliant on support from our partners, the public and divisional resources to do that. Today is an example of how all those partners and divisions work together.' The victims within the operation will be assisted by victim navigators, who work with the charity Justice and Care. (Image: Images taken by Robert Perry, Newsquest) A victim navigator who was on hand today said: 'Today has been a police-led operation following intelligence. It has gone very smoothly. 'I believe we have potentially identified two individuals who we will speak to later on and see if we can support them.' Detailing their role further, they added: 'Our role is to support identified victims of modern slavery and human trafficking throughout their journey from the initial stages right through. 'We help them both emotionally and practically through the judicial process, meeting their basic need for food or clothes, we can arrange counselling for them or simply take them for a coffee and build up their confidence after such a traumatic incident.'

Kayden Moy's death raised in House of Commons by MP
Kayden died after a disturbance at Irvine Beach in May. Three teenagers, one aged 14 and two aged 17, have been charged in connection with his death. READ NEXT:Council gets hundreds of legal threats a month over homelessness Joani Reid, Labour MP for East Kilbride and Strathaven, raised the issue of youth violence at Home Office Questions She told the minister for policing and crime prevention, Diana Johnson, about Kayden's case. Reid said: 'Six weeks ago, Kayden Moy, a 16 year-old boy from East Kilbride in my constituency, was stabbed to death, leaving his family bereft and a community, my community, in grief. 'Since Kayden's death, I've received multiple videos and images of local youths posing and wielding machetes from their own homes and the police claiming they are powerless to take any action whatsoever. 'Does the minister agree that much more needs to be done to stop the very real glamourisation of knife crime online and prevent social media companies and social media form becoming a breeding ground for youth violence?' The minister said it was 'appalling to hear'. READ NEXT:Calton residents hit out at minister's comments over drug needles Johnson added that Reid was right 'about the role social media can play in glamourising these types of weapons'. She said: 'That's why it's so important we have measures in the crime and policing bill within the Online Safety Act as well to start to tackle this.' Afterwards, Reid said: 'Kayden's death was a tragedy for his family and a shock to the whole of East Kilbride. The worrying fact is that knife crime is rising across Scotland, even in schools, and we need to mobilise as a community to bring it under control. 'I have been sent numerous videos by concerned and frightened constituents of boys and young men posing in their bedrooms with dangerous knifes and blades. 'The social media companies refuse to act, and the police say they have not got the power to act. But there can be no excuses for doing nothing when we all know this bravado leads on to violence. 'I will use the summer weeks to press social media companies, public authorities and the Scottish government to get their act together on knife crime and to insist we get real action and not more excuses.'
