Jann Alhafny
Jann Alhafny, a 69-year-old activist, is currently recovering in the hospital after suffering four broken vertebrae during a protest in Sydney against the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Alhafny, who has actively participated in Palestine-related protests over the years, reported that she was violently pushed by police without warning, leading to her injuries. Despite the pain and difficulty she now faces, she remains committed to advocating for Palestine, a cause close to her heart due to her late husband's Palestinian heritage.
