Free Palestine Rally - Week 42

Photographs from Sunday’s 42nd consecutive weekly Free Palestine Rally on Gadigal Land, Sydney, ‘Australia’. This week, thousands rallied around the NSW Labor Party Conference at Sydney Town Hall to protest against the ALP's response to the Israeli war on Gaza..

After a peaceful march, a provocateur barged his way through the crowd, grabbing banners and pushing people in his way. Confusingly the police then made an arrest of a pro-Palestinian protester instead, wrestling him to the ground before taking him away behind police lines.
