Three people were arrested in Sydney on Sunday evening, including a woman wearing a jacket reading “globalise the intifada”, during a protest against the US military intervention in Venezuela.

About 300 people turned out on Sydney’s streets in spite of a New South Wales police prohibition on public demonstrations, made in late December using laws passed after 15 people were killed and scores injured in the Bondi beach alleged terror attack targeting a Hanukah event.
