Police rush Bondi Beach, apprehend ‘F … Israel’ tee-shirt man … again

Some 18 police descended on Bondi Beach to arrest anti-genocide protester Andrew Brown for wearing a ‘F… Israel F… Zionists’ t-shirt.

He was charged and placed under strict bail conditions. After a long and costly battle with police prosecutors, all three charges against him were dropped.

When police officers encountered what they described as “aggressive behavior,” Brown said he was granted freedom of political communication under the Constitution.

Brown said the actions of NSW Police were gross given the “man in a t-shirt” nature of the alleged crime. Brown was walking along the promenade in North Bondi when he encountered two police officers.
