Barricades Removed from Occupy Wall Street Park

HeadlineJan 11, 2012

In New York City, Occupy Wall Street protesters streamed back into Zuccotti Park by the dozens Tuesday night after the barricades were removed. In a complaint to city officials this week, the New York Civil Liberties Union had challenged the barricades, saying they infringe on freedom of assembly. Tuesday’s action followed a New Year’s Eve demonstration that saw protesters also remove the barricades to retake the space.
