AAP has more details on last night’s pro-Palestine rally at Port Botany:
About 400 people waving flags and calling for ceasefire in Gaza gathered near the boat ramp at Foreshore Road, and were met by local and mounted police as well as members of the force’s riot squad.
The cops started trying to move people by dragging them.
They mostly arrested the organisers up the front who were not giving any ground.
