US EditionFormer Greens Candidate in Hospital After Israel Protest Arrest
- Former Greens candidate Hannah Thomas was injured and hospitalised after police arrested her during a pro-Palestinian protest in Belmore, Sydney, on Friday morning.
- The protest was unauthorised and involved about 60 people blocking access to a business allegedly supplying components for Israeli Defence Force jets, prompting police to attempt dispersal.
- Witnesses and video footage show police tripped Ms Thomas and struck her face while trying to move her, causing facial injuries that may cause loss of vision in one eye.
- Greens MP Sue Higginson condemned the police for excessive force and said the incident reflected NSW’s intolerance for protest, while the Greens Senator David Shoebridge criticized police priorities protecting weapons companies over peaceful protesters.
- Five individuals were detained during the demonstration, with four facing charges and released on bail pending a court hearing on July 15. There have been demands for a critical incident inquiry into the police’s conduct.
