Activists say they will rally in Sydney on Sunday, as Australian Muslim groups urge mosques to be illuminated with the colours of the Palestinian flag.
Pro-Palestinian activists will defy warnings from NSW Police and protest in Sydney’s Hyde Park on Sunday, as dozens of Australian Muslim groups urge mosques to be illuminated with the colours of the Palestinian flag in a show of solidarity.in the wake of attacks on Israel by militant group Hamas, pro-Palestine supporters have vowed to continue rolling “peaceful protests”, relocating their planned Sunday rally from Town Hall to Hyde Park.
Acting NSW Police Commissioner David Hudson has discouraged people from attending the planned event on Sunday. However, he noted police could not stop people gathering in public places. “Australia should be pursuing avenues of peace and restraint when navigating civil conflicts, rather than supporting a decision to light up the Sydney Opera House and Parliament House Canberra with the colours of a colonising, invading, Zionist occupying regime,” the statement said.
“I don’t want people anywhere in the world to think those scenes at the Sydney Opera House represent who we are as a people,” Dutton said.“If there were people there who were on visas, they should be identified and have their visas cancelled. They should be deported.”
