Police in Sydney have released photos today of a woman they believe could provide valuable information in an investigation regarding banned symbols being displayed at a pro-Palestine protest. This move by the New South Wales Police Force comes as the Australian Federal Police is looking into possible crimes related to the presence of Hezbollah flags at rallies in Sydney and Melbourne on Sunday.
According to the police, the woman is described as having a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern appearance, with a medium build and long brown hair. She was seen wearing all black clothing and black sunglasses. This release of images is timely as tensions are high between Israel and Iran, with the latter firing a barrage of missiles into Israel. It is important to note that Australia, along with other allies such as the US, UK, Canada, and Japan, considers Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization.
Displaying symbols of a terrorist group is a serious offense and can result in up to a year in prison. However, federal law specifies specific situations where it is illegal, such as using the flag to spread hate, intimidate, or incite violence. The release of these images also coincides with the police's efforts to block two pro-Palestine protests in Sydney, which were planned to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the war in Gaza this weekend.
The organizers of the October 6 and 7 marches had already advised participants to leave their flags at home, but after negotiations, the police announced their opposition to the planned rallies. If anyone has information or can identify the woman in the photos, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
