Around 100 people turned out today at the Downing Centre, in Sydney’s CBD, Gadigal, to support climate activist, Violet Coco, whose 15-month sentence for protesting on the Sydney Harbour Bridge in April last year, was successfully quashed.
Violet was originally prosecuted under the repressive ‘anti-protest’ laws introduced to NSW Parliament by the Coalition State Government and supported by the NSW Labor Party, which threaten protestors with up to 18 months imprisonment and $22,000 in fines.
