Pro-Palestinian Supporters Amass For Protest And Vigil In Australian Cities

PERTH, AUSTRALIA - OCTOBER 5: A demonstrator is seen being spoken to by police whilst holding a Palestinian flag with an image of Hassan Nasrallah on October 5, 2024 in Perth, Australia. Organizers of pro-Palestine protests in Sydney are set to proceed with a rally on Sunday, October 6, despite legal attempts by police to prohibit the gatherings due to safety concerns related to anticipated crowd sizes and potential disruptions. The following day, a vigil is scheduled to honor victims of violence in Gaza, coinciding with the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attacks, which has drawn criticism from government officials who deem the timing "extremely provocative". Protesters also planned to gather for similar events in Melbourne. (Photo by Matt Jelonek/Getty Images)
