‘Limited evidence’ of protester violence at Sydney demonstration against Israeli president Isaac Herzog visit

Key points

• An inquiry into a Sydney rally against Israeli president Isaac Herzog's visit has so far found protesters were largely peaceful. Counsel assisting the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission said there was limited evidence of physical violence by protesters.
• The commission is examining police use of OC spray, alleged police boasting about gratuitous force, and a prayer incident involving Muslim worshippers. Police charged 30 people after the February protest, but almost a dozen charges have since been withdrawn.
• Private examinations are set to run for five weeks.
