Open letter calling for the NSW government to drop all charges against the anti-Herzog protesters targeted by NSW Police based on an unconstitutional law, in the context of the most widespread instance of street violence by NSW Police since at least 1978. Note that the list of signatories is headed by a number of individuals who survived that homophobic/transphobic violence back in 1978 and who help connect the dots to the police violence seen around Town Hall on the evening on 9th Feb 2026 that was directed against thousands of people who had gathered to peacefully protest against the ongoing complicity of NSW/Australian governments in the #GazaGenocide.
Police actions on that evening are allegedly under current investigation by the (often toothless) police watchdog known as LECC (not being officially investigated: the prior actions of the Minns government in setting the stage for that night's shameful display of police brutality). Yet prosecutions against a small number of protesters are apparently still going ahead, despite the NSW Supreme Court having already ruled that the primary legislation shaping the police response was itself unconstitutional.
Please read and consider signing, especially if you're in NSW.
