Court solidarity protest: Drop the Herzog protestersʼ charges now!

Chris Minns attacked basic democratic rights and unleashed brutal police violence during the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog in February, in an effort to silence opposition to Israelʼs ongoing genocide.

The cowardly police attack on the demonstration against Herzog on February 9 saw many severely injured and dozens arrested.

Despicable police violence was caught on camera and beamed around the globe. But shamefully, there has been no justice for those who had their democratic rights trashed and were physically assaulted by police.

In fact, to their eternal shame, NSW police have continued to arrest and charge more protesters from the rally.

We will rally outside Downing Centre Court to stand in solidarity with all those facing this campaign of repression and call for Minnsʼ anti-protest laws to be scrapped and the charges against protestors dropped.

As Israel continues to bomb Gaza, accelerates its ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and rains hell down Lebanon and Iran join us to say that genocide is a crime—protest is not.
