A planned pro-Palestinian protest march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge has been cleared to proceed after the New South Wales (NSW) Supreme Court dismissed a police request to block the rally.

Justice Belinda Rigg ruled on Aug. 2 that anticipated disruption to traffic was not a sufficient reason to prevent the demonstration.
