A 36-year-old man from Melbourne is due to face court after being charged over the alleged display of the Hezbollah flag during pro-Palestine protests in the CBD.
A 36-year-old man from Melbourne has been charged by federal police for allegedly displaying the Hezbollah flag during pro- Palestine protests in the CBD.
Thousands of Melbournians rallied in the CBD following his death amidst pro-Palestinian supporters vowing to continue taking it to the streets every weekend for as long as it takes to"liberate Palestine". Prior to the incident, Nasrallah was very rarely seen in public due to fears of assassination by Israel.
AFP Counter Terrorism Commander Nick Read said the AFP would not tolerate crimes that incited or advocated violence, or hatred, based on race and religion. “More than 1100 hours has been spent investigating this matter, including reviewing more than 100 hours of CCTV evidence and police body worn camera footage and progressing the analysis of information collected during an AFP week of action in October."
