Doctors, nurses and supporters gathered outside the NSW Police headquarters on July 3 to protest police violence against peaceful pro-Palestine protesters outside SEC Plating in Belmore on June 27.

Among those assaulted was former Greens candidate Hannah Thomas, who sustained serious facial injuries and may lose sight in one eye.

The doctors and nurses are collecting signatures on a letter to Police Commissioner Karen Webb stating their concerns.
