Hannah Thomas, a former Greens parliamentary candidate and advocate for Palestinian rights, sustained serious injuries during her arrest at an unauthorized pro-Palestine protest in Sydney, Australia. She has accused New South Wales (NSW) Police of "extreme violence and brutality" and faces charges of hindering or resisting a police officer. Thomas reportedly may suffer permanent vision loss in one eye as a result of the incident. Despite her allegations, a senior police official has defended the officers' conduct during the arrest. The event has drawn criticism and highlighted tensions surrounding political protests in the region. Meanwhile, unrelated reports note that former Hamas hostage condemned an anti-Israel protest in Canada, and other news covers local Sydney developments including celebrity sightings and ongoing court cases involving nurses from a viral video.
