Activists of the movement of anti -capitalists to “capture London” (OCCUPY London) took on Tuesday the empty building of the court in the east of the city, intending to hold “trials” there against the rich, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the movement site.
As notes The Daily Mail , activists arrived at the tank building. The protesters hung a huge banner on the building “Capture everything” and began to write the names of those bankers and politicians on a large board who they were going to hold “demonstrative court hearings”.
As the protesters managed to freely drive through the city center on an armored car, remains unknown, the publication said.
The building of the magistrate court Old Street has been empty since 1996. According to the activists of the movement, they intend to consult professional lawyers and arrange in court the so -called “processes against 1%” - a minority that concentrated world wealth in their hands.
"These will not be demonstrative courts, but public hearings that analyze the crimes of those who abuse their position. Occupy London intends to seriously take up evidence in a public opinion court," the report said.
The first courts intend to carry out the movement against those who "undermined the world economy, destroyed the British social system" and "deprived people of their civil rights."
“Most of the hearings, apparently, will take place in the absence of the accused,” adds Occupy London.
The court building was already the fourth point captured by the protesters. OCCUPY LONDON grew out of the OCCUPY LSX movement ("capture the London Exchange"), opposing the unfair distribution of world material goods, against reducing government spending and against the super -access of banks. On October 15, its participants tried to "occupy" the building of the London Stock Exchange. The police did not allow them to the square in front of the exchange, and in response they set up a tent camp in front of St. Paul Cathedral, located in the neighborhood.
Later, the Finsbury-Square Square and an empty building in the Khakni area in the east of London, owned by the Swiss bank UBS, were "captured".
Meanwhile, on Monday, four -day court hearings began on the issue of eviction of the tent camp near the cathedral. The City district administration made several warnings to the invaders, then sent an official notification of eviction, but the activists did not leave the square, which forced the authorities to go to court and ask for permission to violent demolition of tents.
In the US, protesters set fire to their own camp
Participants of the “capture Wall Street” organized by the Movement Movement set fire to their own tent camp in the Denver Center, the capital of the American state of Colorado, Reuters reports with reference to the police representative Matthew Murray.
The arson was carried out during the police operation to liquidate the camp on Tuesday night. About 50 opponents of financial terrorism opposed the law enforcement officers.
Firefighters put out the fire, after which the police completed the analysis of the camp.
As a result of the fire, no one was injured. Nine people are detained.
According to Reuters, the tent town in Denver was one of the last anti -capitalist camps in large cities of the United States. Earlier, the police were liquidated by camps in New York and Los Angeles.
Protest shares under the general title of "capture Wall Street" began in New York on September 17. Since then, such demonstrations began in almost all major cities of the United States, including Los Angeles, Miami and Washington. Protesters oppose the unemployment, financial institutions and policies of the authorities, calling it "financial terrorism", as well as against the rich segments of the population representing the minimum part of society. Demonstrations of the dissatisfied are mainly peaceful.
