Key Figure in Sydney Protest Arrested in Bondi
Australian Federal Police have taken into custody one of the prominent figures involved in an anti-Jewish demonstration that occurred earlier this month outside the New South Wales Parliament. Joel Davis was arrested during an operational activity conducted by AFP officers in the popular beachside suburb of Bondi on Thursday afternoon.
Operational Details and Police Statement
The arrest unfolded as federal officers moved in on Davis, who remains in custody following the operation. In an official statement, the Australian Federal Police confirmed the action, stating, 'The AFP has undertaken an operational activity in Bondi today. There is no ongoing risk to the community.' This reassurance was issued to placate any potential public concern following the police activity in the trendy Sydney locale.
Expected Charges and Rally Involvement
According to reports from The Sydney Morning Herald, Davis is expected to be formally charged with the offence of using a carriage service to harass or menace. This development follows his visible participation in the rally held outside NSW parliament on November 8, where he was seen addressing the gathering. The case continues to develop as authorities proceed with their investigation.
