Amid jubilant scenes in Melbourne's CBD, where thousands of Iranians gathered to protest, one man shared a shocking tale of police overreach with Rebel News Australia chief reporter Avi Yemini.

The Iranian-Aussie, draped in the Australian flag, was marking the liberation of his homeland from 47 years of Islamic oppression. "This flag for me means freedom, bro," he told me. But he said Victoria Police arrested him at Flinders Street station simply for waving it near a pro-Palestine rally, where anti-Australian agitators were shutting down streets.

Yeah the dumb coppers are going overkill because the white Australia first neo nazis always attend to the pro palestine marches purely for the purpose of tryna spark anarchy.

The pro palestine crowd are just as brain dead and also burn our flags at their protests.

I've always thought that if you burn the flag of the country you live in that it was an arrestable offence but apparently not ?

Freedom can be fleeting and it appears to be slowly, and in some cases quickly, fleeing the western nations. Here in the USA we got a short reprieve...
