Two pro-Palestinian protesters were charged Wednesday under Queensland's new hate-speech laws, with one allegedly saying the banned phrase "from the river to the sea" at a protest outside state parliament hours after the legislation took effect. The law allows up to two years imprisonment for uttering prohibited phrases including "from the river to the sea" and "globalise the intifada" if they would cause menace, harassment, or offense.
