Bail Denied for Man Accused of Storming Israeli Restaurant in Melbourne
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, JUL 8 – Three charged after a protest targeting an Israeli-owned Melbourne restaurant caused property damage and involved about 20 protesters, Victoria Police said.
- On Wednesday, a 50-year-old Richmond man was denied bail, while two women from Footscray and Essendon were released on bail, and all face charges including assault and criminal damage.
- The Whistleblowers, Activists and Communities Alliance said about 20 pro-Palestine protesters targeted Miznon, owned by Shahar Segal, as a 'site for direct action' linked to Gaza tensions.
- Victoria Police allege chairs were thrown and a glass door damaged during the altercation involving three charged individuals at Miznon in Melbourne.
- The Melbourne antisemitic incidents, including synagogue arson and vandalism, prompted Prime Minister Albanese to condemn the attacks as 'cowardly acts of violence and antisemitism'.
- The court sets September 25 for bail hearings for two women, as investigations into the restaurant incident continue with no links established between related events.
