Pro-Palestine gatherings planned for Sydney this weekend may not go ahead.
NSW Police has taken court action to stop a pro-Palestine rally, marking the first anniversary of the October 7 attacks, from going ahead in Sydney.
“Officers from Operation Shelter have conducted negotiations with protest organisers, who did submit a Form 1 for each proposed public assembly, but are not satisfied that the protest can proceed safely,” NSW Police said in a statement on Tuesday night. The statement said NSW Police “recognises and supports the rights of individuals and groups to exercise their rights of free speech and peaceful assembly” but added that “the safety of the participants and the wider community” was the force’s top priority.
“We intend on defending our right to protest and are determined to continue standing for justice for Palestine and Lebanon,” Ridgwell said.On Monday, NSW Police said two flags “displaying a terrorist organisation symbol” during a pro-Palestine rally on Sunday and investigations were continuing, although no incidents had been referred to the AFP.“People have to know that they are carrying a symbol that is prohibited.
