Arrests in Oakland protests rise to more than 400


Arrests in Oakland protests rise to more than 400

 

More than 400 anti-Wall Street protesters were arrested in Oakland during a night of skirmishes in which police fired tear gas and bean bag projectiles, the city said on Sunday, marking one of the biggest mass arrests since nationwide economic protests began last year.Earlier on Sunday, authorities had said that the arrest figure was between 200 and 300. But the Oakland emergency operations center said in a statement that revised that up to more than 400, and said that Oakland Police were expected to announce a more precise number later on Sunday.Riot police on Saturday night fought running skirmishes with protesters, injuring three officers and at least one demonstrator.The scuffles erupted in the afternoon as activists sought to take over a shuttered downtown convention center, sparking cat-and-mouse battles that lasted well into the night in a city that has seen tensions between police and protesters boil over repeatedly. Oakland has become an unlikely flashpoint of the national "Occupy" protests against economic inequality that began last year in New York's financial district and have spread to dozens of cities across the country.
The protests in most cities have been peaceful and sparked a national debate over how much of the country's wealth is held by the richest 1 per cent of the population. President Barack Obama has sought to capitalize on the attention by calling for higher taxes on the richest Americans.
Protests focused on Oakland after a former Marine, Scott Olsen, was critically injured during a demonstration in October. Protesters said he was hit in the head by a tear gas canister but authorities have never said exactly how he was hurt.
The Occupy movement appeared to lose momentum late last year as police cleared protest camps in cities across the country.Violence erupted again in Oakland on Saturday when protesters attempted to take over the apparently empty downtown convention center to establish a new headquarters and draw attention to the problem of homelessness.Police in riot gear moved in, firing smoke grenades, tear gas and bean-bag projectiles to drive the crowd back."Officers were pelted with bottles, metal pipe, rocks, spray cans, improvised explosive devices and burning flares," the Oakland Police Department said in a statement. "Oakland Police Department deployed smoke and tear gas."
Some activists, carrying shields made of plastic garbage cans and corrugated metal, tried to circumvent the police line, and surged toward police on another side of the building as more smoke canisters were fired.
Oakland city officials said "extremists" were fomenting the demonstrations and using the city as a playground for the movement. Protesters have accused the city of overreacting and using heavy-handed tactics.
Across the country in New York, police said four people were arrested on Saturday night after protesters clashed with police at what demonstrators had called an "OccuParty" inside an abandoned building in the borough of Brooklyn.
Protesters knocked over garbage pails and hurled objects at police, slightly injuring six officers, a police spokesman said. The four people were charged with a variety of crimes including inciting a riot.
Tension was rising in Washington as well, where the National Park Service has said it will bar Occupy protesters in the nation's capital from camping in two parks near the White House where they have been living since October.That order, if carried out as promised on Monday, could be a blow to one of the highest-profile chapters of the movement.

SPAIN PROTEST







 

Thousands of police, teachers and hospital staff staged a mass protest march in Barcelona on Saturday in growing anger at spending cuts hitting key services in Spain's Catalonia region.
"No to the Cuts," read a banner at the head of the crowd, which included prison guards, firefighters and nurses protesting at cuts that they warn are undermining security, education and health.
Thousands of participants joined in, with turnout estimates by various organisers, authorities and media varying from 15,000 to 125,000.
Spending cuts aimed at stabilising Spain's public finances are hitting its regions hard, adding to the pain of an unemployment rate that crept close to 23 percent at the end of 2011, with more than five million people out of work."There are more pupils per class with fewer resources and fewer teachers," said one demonstrator, schoolteacher Maite Sanchez, 29. "The quality of education is beginning to be seriously affected by the cuts."
Another, Rosalia Port, a 56-year-old nurse, insisted: "There are other kinds of cuts that can be made, such as fighting tax fraud and raising taxes for those who earn the most."
It was the latest in a series of mass protests against measures to resolve the crisis.
Tens of thousands of public sector workers in several towns in Valencia, Spain's most heavily indebted region, demonstrated on Thursday to protest cuts there.
Catalonia's regional parliament is currently debating the budget for 2012 which includes cuts of 625 million euros ($826 million) to rein in its deficit to 1.3 percent of gross domestic product this year.
Cuts to health, security and education budgets began last year, and at the end of 2011 the region also proposed to hike taxes and fees for services such as universities, public transport and water.
Saturday's march was marked by the participation of regional police officers, prison guards and firefighters who warned the budget cuts prompted by the financial crisis are undermining security.
"It's an explosive cocktail," said David Miquel, a spokesman for the Catalan police union SPC, ahead of the march."We lack equipment and vehicles. The situation is pathetic. In some cases there are no vehicles to carry out operations." Spain's central government said Friday it had approved a new budget law that bans the country's 17 powerful regions from sliding into deficit from 2020.
Saturday's march united civil servants from all the main sectors of Catalonia's public services, including prison guards who blocked the entrances to some prisons last weekend in protest at planned pay cuts.
"Sometimes there are just two guards for 500 inmates," a prison guards representative, Albert Anton, told AFP

Occupy Auckland protesters take to the streets

Occupy Auckland protesters marched up Queen St this afternoon expressing their anger about the eviction from the town square last week.It was not long however until the peaceful protest became heated and marchers stormed their way back into Aotea Square where they reoccupied the area they were forced to leave by police and security guards just three days ago.The Occupy movement members took to the city's main street this afternoon to protest against what they believe was an unlawful eviction. Traffic was halted for the protest, with almost 100 protesters clogging the streets, much to the dislike of motorists The march turned to a run, as the protesters raced to break down the fences.The Occupy Auckland group set up camp in Aotea Square 106 days ago to protest against corporate greed and corruption.A general meeting at the square is being held tonight to decide what the occupiers next move will  be.

libya protest 2012


Protests against the NEW GOV. in Libya, January 2012
AUSTRALIA protest

AUSTRALIA'S most powerful union leader has led an unprecedented public assault on the Rann Labor Government at Parliament House.

Calling on the Rann Government to come to the negotiating table, ACTU president Ged Kearney told the large crowd - which the Public Service Association says totalled 10,000 - the nation was watching their struggle. "You are under attack, make no mistake," she said. "What is at stake here is a basic principle ...that applies to every single worker in this country.'' Ms Kearney, who travelled to Adelaide for the rally, said Labor had broken its agreement with public sector workers.



 
AUSTRALIA In dramatic scenes, the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard had to be dragged by riot police to safety after hundreds of protesters from the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra descended on an event where Julia Gillard, was presiding over Australia Day celebrations. Regardless of how you feel about Ms Gillard of her government this was a disgusting display and has done nothing to advance the cause of the Aboriginal activists. In fact, in anything it has probably set things back 80 years.

Police, protesters clash in Bangladesh general strike

 Bangladesh police used tear-gas and batons to disperse thousands of anti-government protesters in the first general strike in over three years, which the opposition hopes can force early elections.

 

 

BRUTAL KILLING OF FELANI !!!??

In 2011 Indian forces shot teenage Bangladeshi girl dead while she was returning home and left her hanging in the barb wire for hours. Her cry for water and for her life brought tears even in the eyes of Indian villagers. But Indian soldiers made sure her death and proved what Indian state policy and Indian forces stood for medieval brutality.




When you read or hear a story or view a scene or a picture, a movie should evolve in your mind. You reflexively make a mental picture in your brain of what you view and hear. These are your own sensory images. None of us has ever seen the paradise or the hell we are told we will face in our afterlife; still, we form a mental picture of what the netherworld would be like. Your images for a particular view or a story are subtly different from anyone else's images. Your images blended with your unique feelings and emotions come flooding back when you come across the same view or the same story once again. Today, I am having a similar experience.
Last year in January, on a chilly Sunday night at my College Park residence in Maryland, I was reading the heart-breaking story of the violent and ruthless killing of Felani, a 15-year old Bangladeshi girl, by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) and was transfixed as I was viewing the eerie scene of her motionless body distressingly dangling on a barbed-wire fence along the Bangladesh-Indian border at Anantapur, which was possibly not far away from her village. After I had read the story, I fixed my sight at the gruesome picture of Felani's tangled dead body, still wearing a red frock and a pair of blue pajamas -- perhaps her choicest dresses.
Felani's father Nurul Islam had left his village at Naggeshwari Upazilla under the district of Kurigram in Bangladesh for Assam in India with his mother, after the death of his father and due to extreme poverty. Such migration, legal or illegal, is quite normal in this part of the world. There are also many Indians who, legally or illegally, are working in Bangladesh, especially in textiles and garments industries.
Nurul Islam was bringing his daughter Felani to their home in Bangladesh to get her married with a boy as arranged earlier by the guardians. On January 7, 2011, early in the morning, Nurul Islam and his daughter Felani were crossing into Bangladesh, by climbing over a barbed-wire fence using a bamboo ladder, through the Kitaber Kuthi Anantapur border. While they were crossing the fence, Felani's clothes got tangled in the barbed-wire, which frightened her and caused her to scream in panic. Hearing her scream, the Border Security Force (BSF) of India on patrol opened fire at her. Felani was shot and killed, but her father had managed to escape. Felani was asking for water until her death, about 30 minutes after the shooting, but nobody was there to fetch her a glass of water. It was a clear act of felony on innocent Felani.
The dead body of Felani was hung on the fence for five hours before the body was handed to the authorities concerned in Bangladesh. On January 09, at night, Felani's body was buried in the backyard of her home. Felani's father Nurul Islam complained that he had received her daughter's dead body but did not get back the gold ornaments she was wearing when she was killed.
The pall of gloom cast by the news of Felani's death did not quite capture the sense of disbelief and sorrow that engulfed first the village where Felani was buried and then the whole country after the news along with the wretched picture of her dead body hanging on the barbed-wire fence was published in most of the newspapers in Bangladesh.
A movie, based on my sensory images of Felani, was evolving in my mind as I was trying to empathise with the bereaved family members. I attempted to visualise about Felani's life -- her childhood, her expectations, her fears and her last moment when all her dreams were shattered. In my mental picture Felani had appeared as a Durga, the girl I found in my childhood in "Pather Panchali", the epochal 1955 Bengali drama film written and directed by Satyajit Ray. Felani in her childhood, like Durga in Pather Panchali, perhaps shared with her friends simple joys of life. Like Durga, Felani may be spent a lot of time sitting quietly under a tree, running after the candy man who passed by, viewing pictures in a bioscope shown by a traveling vendor, watching a 'jatra' by a troupe of actors and running away from home to catch a glimpse of the train after hearing the whistle of a speeding train.
In a poor family in Bangladesh, like that of Nurul Islam, an old equation rules: educating a boy will bring financial returns, but not so in case of a girl. Earning no income, a daughter is usually married off as soon as possible and removed from the family balance sheet. That is why Nurul Islam probably decided to arrange his daughter Felani's marriage at her tender age of 15. Felani perhaps put on her choicest jewelries, dresses and facial make-ups, I was just imagining, as she was heading home -- lest she was found unkempt, in case she had bumped on her way home into the prospective boy she was arranged to get married with.
Everybody knows that any law enforcement agency usually does not fire shots at unarmed persons, no matter the person is in the international border area during a war or on a street during a curfew, unless a person attempts to do something which may endanger the life of the law enforcers. Before directly shooting on Felani, the Indian Border Security Force could easily give warnings first by misfiring and if Felani was found carrying arms or smuggling goods they could use the last option of shooting. After Felani's tragic death, there were protests all over Bangladesh against the killing spree of civilians by the Indian BSF. Human rights organisation Odhikar in a fact-finding report released in January 2011, said that India's Border Security Force had breached the border agreement between Bangladesh and India by killing innocent girl Felani Khatun. The report, which interviewed the victim's family members, villagers, Border Guards Bangladeshi soldiers, police personnel and physicians, recommended that the Bangladesh government should ask India to give compensation to the family. The battalion commander of the 27th Rifles, Lt Col. Abdur Razzak Tarafdar, according to the report, said: "Felani's killing by the BSF was not only a breach of international law but a gross violation of human rights and a display of barbaric inhumanity". The report recommended that the government should take steps to end such violations.
Even Manabadhikar Suraksa Manch (MSM), a human rights organisation in India, protested against the cruelty of BSF. MSM Chairman Kiriti Ray said: "There is no rule in India to kill people by shooting. But BSF soldiers are not obeying the rule. Almost every day BSF is killing Bangladeshi people. In every case, BSF shows the same reason that they had to shoot at Bangladeshi smugglers and the smugglers attacked BSF first". The MSM Chairman questioned: "Was Felani a smuggler? She was unarmed, she was tangled! How could she attack BSF?" Felani was not the only Bangladeshi victim killed by the BSF. According to the international human rights group Human Rights Watch, in the year 2010 BSF killed 74, injured 72 and kidnapped 43 Bangladeshis.
Felani in Bangla means 'a discard', an unwanted person or a thing that is thrown away. It should be anybody's wonder: "Why did her parents choose her name to be Felani? Was Felani an unwanted child?" No! The truth rather is quite to the contrary. Given the high infant mortality rate in rural Bangladesh, due to diseases, malnutrition and complicacies during childbirth, parents get frustrated when they lose one infant after another in succession. Parents, who are mostly illiterate and totally ignorant of modern medical science, put the blame of their babies' death on someone else's casting evil eyes on their newborns. In order to avert the evil gaze from their children and to make their children less attractive to the neighbours, frustrated parents, after the premature deaths of their earlier children, choose a weird name like "Felani" (a discard) or "Pocha" (rotten) for their newborn, hoping for his/her longer life.
So, Felani was a cherished baby to her parents. Her parents earnestly wished for her long life. But, BSF discarded Felani as an object to shoot at---perhaps as a part of their shooting practice. But we cannot afford to discard Felani, her story, her images from the album of our memory. Neither Nurul Islam nor his daughter Felani Khatun was aware of the rules and protocols of the border security arrangements. Felani was merely climbing a ladder in the hope of translating a dream of her happy marriage into reality. It is in no way expected of us to remain silent on January 07, the day Felani died for no fault of her own. Can't we declare January 07 as "Felani Day"? Shouldn't Felani's death fire zeal in us for strengthening our will to guard our dignity and sovereignty?




protest of Bangladesh


Riot police in Bangladesh have clashed with hundreds of protesters in the Capital Dhaka who insist swift parliamentary elections to topple the country’s ruling power.

The fighting erupted during a nationwide strike, called by Bagladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), which is the country’s main opposition party. Scores of protesters were wounded and at least 70 activists were arrested in clashes with the police, according to witnesses. The police patrolled the capital and the main cities, using water cannons and batons to disperse the protesters who are discontent with high prices, weak public services in the impoverished land. On Sunday, fighting between the police and the demonstrators left one policeman dead and dozens of people injured. The BNP, which has been led by two times ex-Premier Khaleda Zia, is objecting the government’s economic policies and its alleged crackdown on the opposition.

50+ arrest from wall street protest
18 December 2011 More than 50 anti-Wall Street protesters have been arrested after they tried to climb over a fence around a church car park to establish a new encampment. The demonstrators used a wooden ladder to scale the chain-link fence and enter the car park owned by Trinity Church, an Occupy Wall Street spokesman said. Police could not immediately say how many people were held, but Gideon Oliver, president of the New York City chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, put the number at about 55, including between five and 10 clergy. The remaining demonstrators marched through Manhattan on Saturday towards the house of the Trinity Church rector, but were turned away by police. Later, as they started to move toward midtown, some of the demonstrators were hemmed in by lines of police and police on motorcycles tried to disperse protesters who were in the middle of streets.
"We are unstoppable. Another world is possible," and "Whose street? Our street," were among the chants from the protesters, who blocked some streets as they marched. The remainder of the group, several dozen protesters, held signs in Times Square into the evening. The Occupy movement began with protesters taking over a park in New York in September to draw attention to economic inequality and a financial system they say is unfairly skewed toward the wealthy. Protests and encampments spread to cities throughout the US as well as abroad.
Occupy camps in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and a number of other cities have been shut down in recent weeks in operations that resulted in hundreds of arrests and raised questions about the movement's future.

WALL STREET PROTEST
 caption

Occupy Wall Street is in the middle of one of its day-long marches in New York Tuesday, protesting the National Defense Authorization Act, but for those following along on the Global Revolution livestream, the real action is happening in the broadcast studio itself. That's because police have apparently just raided the Brooklyn studio of Globalrevolution.tv and taken some of the project's key volunteers into custody.The raid Tuesday follows a notice to vacate that police delivered to the Bushwick studio on Monday night. Victoria Sobel, a Global Revolution volunteer, said Vlad Teichberg and a guy named Spike, both of whom maintain the live feed aggregator, had been taken into custody by police, along with four or five others. 



WALL STREET PROTEST

The “Occupy Wall Street” movement taking place in the neighborhoods surrounding Wall Street is creating fear among Mexican immigrant workers due to the constant demonstrations and the police presence in the area trying to maintain order in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan.“Since they started, we have seen a lot of movement, and last week it scared me a little because there were a lot of arrests. Sometimes you could get mixed into the protesters,” said Alejandro Galindo, who delivers food for a restaurant located on Pearl Street, which is heavily-guarded by police near the exits of the 2 and 3 subway station. Mexicans who work near the protest zone said that despite the demonstrations, they haven’t had any issues yet. “There were a few delays on the train that I take to my house, but nothing more than that,” said Carlos Torres, a Mexican immigrant who delivers pizzas to the protesters near the stock market. It should be mentioned that if you do pass through this area, it is necessary that you follow the instructions of those policing the area. Failure to do so could result in arrests for disobeying the authorities, officials said.


Occupy Wall Street protesters 2011 after police mace or pepper spray them )



NEW YORK –  Hundreds of demonstrators gathered on Wall Street and elsewhere in lower Manhattan Saturday to protest the influence of money in U.S. politics and decry what they perceive to be the injustices of the financial system.
The mostly peaceful protest, called “Occupy Wall Street,” was spearheaded by the activist magazine Adjusters and promoted through TWITTER, FACEBOOK and other social media networks. Organizers have said the protests are modeled on the “Arab Spring” wave of uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere.
By Saturday morning, the New York City Police Department had taken action to prevent protesters from wreaking havoc by blocking off sections of Wall Street, including the famous bull statue where demonstrators had planned to rally, CNN said.
In a statement, the NYPD said they created a protest area next to the New York Stock Exchange, but the demonstrators “elected not to use it.”
The NYPD said the group that formed at the Wall Street bull was blocking traffic and also noted that no one associated with the demonstrations had sought permits.
Barry Bull says… That is the American spirit at its finest .  Wall Street should be aware that a “Financial Spring” could rise and destroy their corrupt greedy system.  I encourage American people everywhere to stand up for what they believe in.  “Arab Spring” is a derivative of past protest in American history, such as the Vietnam War and Civil Rights demonstrations.  Rise up main street, because it is time to take action against systems which exploit hard-working American citizens and their money.
