The three -Irish Kneecap says he did not get an official notice about the ban from Canada

The Irish Hop Hope group KneeCAP has not received after any official contact from the federal government, which confirm its ban from the entry of Canada, as it told CBC News, after the liberal MP Vince Gaspro announced in a video on a widely joint social media on Friday.

“No one has instructed KneeCap that they could not travel to Canada except for Vince and the video on social media,” said Dan Lambert, director of the band in an interview.

CBC News contacted many government departments, but did not receive details about the decision exceeding the first Gasparro as he said he was issuing the announcement “on behalf of the government of Canada.”

“The group has been inflated political violence and has publicly offered support for terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas,” Gaspro said.

He also said that KneeCAP “participated in procedures and made statements that contradict the Canadian values ​​and laws that caused a deep warning to our government.”

“We were very shocked by this that could happen in Canada,” Lambert said, adding that the band played here several times, and the only country that has a travel ban is Hungary.

A member of the band, Liam Aug, faces Hanida, who is under the name of the theater, Mo Chara, is facing terrorism in the United Kingdom after he was claimed to wave Hezbollah’s flag on the stage in November 2024 in London.

Lambert said the case is due in court on Friday, and it is completely expected to prevail in the court.

The band rejects all Gasparro allegations and said in a response to his video that he intends to sue.

The Canadian KneeCAP round dates are scheduled for next month.

IRCC will not confirm the group status

Immigration, refugees and citizenship in Canada (IRCC) will not tell CBC news whether it had made a decision on preventing Kneecap from entering this country, with reference to “the causes of privacy.”

“All persons who seek to come to Canada must meet the requirements of eligibility and acceptable under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Law,” the ministry said in a statement.

He also said that the issues are evaluated individually, and entry may be refused for a number of reasons, “including concerns related to security, human or international violations or criminal activity.”

Follow -up questions about the reason for the posting of Gasparro, the parliamentary secretary appointed with the assistance of the Foreign Minister to combat crime, did not answer his video.

Gaspro did not re -comment. Neither the Ministry of Justice nor the Prime Minister’s office.

The Ministry of Public Safety referred questions to IRCC.

On Friday, Justice Minister Sean Fraser was unable to explain the government’s decision or respond to news aimed at taking legal measures, when journalists asked her during a relevant press conference.

“I only realized this in the minutes that preceded my exit to the microphone,” Fraser said. “I would like to address the appropriate section to provide an answer.”

• Participate in spying, and attempts to overthrow the government or engage in violence or terrorism.

• Creating or convicted war crimes or crimes against humanity.

• The presence of criminal condemnation, or crimes, including driving during influence.
