Canada has banned rap group Kneecap from entering the country for allegedly 'glorifying terrorist organisations'.

The trio, who were due to play four concerts in Canada next month, were accused of promoting hate and violence by the country's Liberal government.

Kneecap have subsequently threatened Canada's parliamentary secretary for combatting crime, Vince Gasparro, with legal action.

Mr Gasparro said in a video on X that members of the group had been deemed ineligible to enter the country because of actions and statements that violate Canadian law.

He also accused the group of amplifying political violence and publicly displaying support for terrorist organisations, including Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, and Hamas in Gaza .
