A group of ‘Queers In Solidarity With Palestine’ jumped barriers, lit coloured smoke effects and raised banners to interrupt the Labor Party float at last Saturday night’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Police quickly arrested the protesters and dragged them off the parade route. They were later charged with ‘use violence to cause fear’.
The NSW Premier, Chris Minns was escorted off the route by police immediately after the arrests.
‘Queers In Solidarity With Palestine’ are calling for an end to the war in Gaza and the West Bank.
