A protester detained in Sydney’s CBD while wearing a jacket that said “globalise the intifada” says she should “never have been arrested” and claims police told her the slogan was unlawful, despite them being unable to point to legislation banning its use.

The 53-year-old woman was arrested on Sunday during a protest against the US military intervention in Venezuela for wearing a shirt “displaying offensive messaging”, police alleged.
