OWS Protesters Vow More Rallies Amid Fear of Mass Arrests
Anti-corporatism Occupy Wall Street protesters in New York are planning to close down Wall Street by holding a street carnival to mark their campaign's extension into its third month, Reuters reported.
The news agency indicated on Tuesday that protesters are planning to close on Thursday the Wall Street, US financial center and home to New York Stock Exchange, through marching from the camp headquarters at the Zuccoti Part.
Marches and demonstrations on Thursday are expecting to spread towards the Brooklyn Bridge, fearing mass arrests, after some 700 protesters have been arrested by the Police department since the beginning of the OWS protests.
The New York Police Department ordered the protesters to leave their location in the park, and remove all tents and property. The Police threatened many times the protesters that they would be arrested if they didn't abide with their orders.
Therefore clashes erupted between protesters and police departments in many states and areas in the US, including Boston, Portland, and Oregon.
