Last night, around 200 pro-Palestinian protestors gathered out the front of SEC Plating Pty Ltd in Belmore, south-west Sydney, Dharug Land, to protest against what they say is the manufacturing of parts for F-35 jets, which are the aircraft involved in the currentbombing of Gaza by Israeli forces.
Speakers also spoke out against the actions of NSW police, who were involved in an altercation with former Greens candidate for Grayndler, Hannah Thomas, at another protest at the same site last week. As a result of the incident, Thomas is atrisk of losing an eye. Charges against the former Greens candidate have been widely criticised by civil liberties groups and have now been dropped. Lawyers are looking into whether the police should be sued for these actions. There are claims that police falsely invoked draconian anti-protest lawsduring last week’s protest.
