Police have charged former Greens candidate Hannah Thomas after she was injured during her arrest at a pro-Palestinian protest. Thomas was among protesters outside a manufacturing facility in Sydney's south-west. The protesters claim the company supplies components for F-35 jets used by the Israel Defense Forces, which the company denies.
Videos show Thomas being dragged away by police before falling to the ground. She remains hospitalized with facial injuries and risks losing her eye. Thomas has been issued a notice for hindering police and is set to appear in court on August 12.
The Greens are calling for an investigation into the incident. NSW Police are not formally investigating it as a critical incident yet. Four others were also arrested at the protest.
