NSW people arrested in Sydney’s anti-lockdown protest | Full list

A WAG, a social media influencer and former boxer are just some of the people penalised for marching against widespread lockdowns in NSW. See the full list.

Thousands of angry and unmasked protesters marched through the Sydney CBD on July 24 to show their contempt for the city’s lockdown measures.

Brazen demonstrators walked shoulder-to-shoulder, flouting restrictions and sowing fears that the event could become a ‘superspreader’ event.

The rally ended in wild brawls with police, dozens of arrests and a warning from NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian that the mob had “compromised the safety of all of us.”

Detectives began “forensically” poring over social media posts and CCTV to investigate public health order breaches and other offences.
