Criticism of New South Wales police are ramping up over their handling of Muslim worshippers during the Sydney protest.
Demonstrators had gathered at Town Hall to protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit to Australia.
In one of his strongest statements since being appointed, the Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia has demanded an investigation into the response and for the premier to apologise.
He told SBS, without action from authorities, they risk irreparable damage to their relations with the Muslim community.
