Twenty five anti-Isaac Herzog protesters to face joint trial in Sydney

New South Wales police commissioner Mal Lanyon is among the witnesses expected to appear at the six-week trial next July

Twenty five people who were charged after they protested against the visit of the Israeli president will face a six-week joint trial next July.

The protesters had their matters heard before Downing centre local court on Thursday after their lawyers made a successful application for the joint hearing after arguing there were common legal issues across the cases.
