A coalition of human rights and civil society organisations is urging New South Wales Premier Chris Minns to back down from his opposition to a planned Gaza protest march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Set for Aug. 3 and organised by the Palestine Action Group, the protest aims to draw attention to Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis, including the effects of Israel’s blockade and the growing threat of famine.
