Twelve people have been charged after hundreds gathered to demonstrate against a state-government sponsored defence conference in Sydney, amid criticism that Israel’s largest weapons companies were attending the event. Footage shows people chanting ‘hands off the West Bank’ and ‘hands off Gaza’ outside the Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition in Darling Harbour. The Palestine Action Group had planned to blockade the expo, but dozens of uniformed and mounted officers surrounded the ICC to prevent the event from being disrupted
