Protesters Arrested in Anti-Wall Street Rally
SHORT VIDEO CLIPS, 26 Sep 2011
Dozens of people have been arrested in New York after police shut down a protest against Wall Street financial firms. The organiser of the demonstration, a group calling itself “Occupy Wall Street”, used social media to call for peaceful protests against what they describe as corporate greed in America.
They had hoped to turn the sit-in into an American version of Tahrir Square – a reference to the centre of the largely peaceful uprising in Egypt – before they say the police cracked down.
