Demonstrators arrested after a protest against Israeli president Isaac Herzog's visit to Australia have called for their charges to be thrown out as they prepared to face court.
Pro-Palestine protesters rallied outside Sydney's Downing Centre Court building on Wednesday morning to advocate for the withdrawal of the charges against 16 of their number.
The protesters were hit with a slew of charges including assault, intimidation and throwing a missile at police officers during the protest on February 9.
