More than a dozen protesters who were charged after rallying against a visit by Israeli president Isaac Herzog will fight the charges against them in a month-long hearing.
A band of 16 activists attended Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday after contesting a slew of charges including assault, resisting arrest and throwing a missile at police.
The charges relate to a demonstration held at Sydney Town Hall on February 9, which descended into a violent clash between protesters and police.
