Pro-Palestine supporters are vowing to keep fighting to protest on Brisbane’s Story Bridge this weekend, despite being blocked in court.

They marched out with a message today after Queensland’s chief magistrate ruled the protest posed a significant risk to public safety.

“Although we didn’t receive a favorable judgment today, we remain determined to pursue freedom and justice,” stated Rouba Rayan from Justice for Palestine Magan-djin outside the courthouse.

“Obviously, we’re not suggesting that people don’t have a right to protest, of course they do,” Mayor Adrian Schrinner said.

“Safety is the absolute critical thing here.”

A NSW senior officer dialled in to discuss fears of a crowd crush if there is a similar situation to the recent Sydney Harbour Bridge protest.

Numbers on the bridge ballooned to an estimated 100,000 and attendees had to be turned around. 

Magistrate Janelle Brassington acknowledged the responsibility and significance of the Queensland group’s cause, but she concluded that there was a notable risk to public safety.

She ruled the march was unauthorised.

Naji said the group was considering its options in terms of an appeal.

Wildman urged potential protesters to obey the ruling.

“It must be clearly understood that participating in a protest or march without authorization carries the possibility of enforcement measures being applied,” she remarked.

” … and we will have a significant policing presence this weekend to manage whatever response the protest organizers wish to take.”

The group was offered two alternative routes including Victoria Bridge.

This evening, the organizers mentioned that only the march across the Story Bridge was stopped and they still intended to gather peacefully at Raymond Park at 1pm on Sunday.

“Preventing us from marching over the bridge is a political move that deeply compromises the fundamental democratic right to protest within this city,” they explained.
