Why

Stop the War on Palestine will rally at 1pm Thursday June 11 outside the Downing Centre Court at 143 Liverpool St in the Sydney CBD to demand that all the Herzog protest charges are dropped and justice for those injured by police at the protest against the genocidal Israeli President in February.

29 people still face charges in relation to the Herzog protest despite Chris Minns' anti-protest laws being struck down in the NSW Supreme Court. All those still facing charges will have court dates on June 11. 

There is growing opposition to the disgraceful decision to maintain the charges. The NSW Council of Civil Liberties and Civil Liberties Defence Centre launched a major open letter demanding all the charges from the Herzog rally are dropped. 131 advocacy groups and civil society organisations have signed the letter so far.

Every day Israel's crimes further indict Minns and his decision to welcome Herzog. Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz has declared Israel is planning the large-scale expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza. Yet Australia continues to provide F-35 fighter jet parts from Quickstep in Bankstown, Bisalloy armoured steel from Wollongong and intelligence from Pine Gap spy base to Israel.

Sanction Israel now, drop the charges, justice for those brutalised by police on February 9. We will not be silent!
