Pro-Palestinian march across Sydney Harbour Bridge allowed to go ahead | ABC NEWS

Details

Description

A pro-Palestinian march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Sunday will proceed as an authorised event, after a judge declined to make a prohibition order over the rally, as sought by police.
The Palestine Action Group was referred to the Supreme Court by NSW Police after it announced plans to march over the bridge in support of Palestinians as the war rages on in Gaza.
Police sought a prohibition order over the event due to safety fears.
The order would not ban people from attending and participating, but would mean those who did participate would not be protected against offences such as blocking roads or traffic.
On Friday the court was told the event could attract up to 50,000 people, with plans for attendees to first gather at Lang Park — situated on the corner of York, Grosvenor and Lang streets — to approach the harbour bridge.
