Occupy Wall Street Protest In New York

An Occupy Wall Street protester who became a cause celebre for activists after she was charged with assaulting a police officer was sentenced Monday to 90 days in jail, with a judge saying a protest is no excuse for an attack.

Two years after getting its start in a downtown Manhattan park, Occupy Wall Street, the populist movement protesting economic inequality, marked its second anniversary on Tuesday with a protest near the New York Stock Exchange and a march near the United Nations.

The protests attracted about a thousand activists, far fewer than last fall's numbers, highlighting the challenge the movement has faced in trying to sustain momentum after sparking a national conversation about economic inequality last fall.

A New York judge ordered Twitter to turn over data on one of its users involved in the Occupy Wall Street protest movement.

Occupy Wall Street protesters took to New York's streets on Tuesday in the highlight of a plan to mount a "general strike" across the United States.

The eviction of Occupy Wall Street from Zuccotti Park in November left protesters without the physical birthplace of the movement around which to rally, and put something of a chill on the endeavor. In Switzerland, protesters of the World Economic Forum have made the movement even chillier.

Police in New York say they have arrested 50 to 60 'Occupy Wall Street' protesters at intersections near the New York Stock Exchange, brokerage houses and banks. The protests are marking two months since the birth of the Occupy movement in a lower Manhattan park. Participants are opposing corporate excess and income inequality.

Crackdowns against the Occupy Wall Street encampments across the country reached the epicenter of the movement on Tuesday, when police rousted protesters from a Manhattan park and a judge ruled that their free speech rights do not extend to pitching a tent and setting up camp for months at a time.

Journalists have been detained by police while covering Occupy Wall Street protests in New York. Associated Press writer Karen Matthews was taken into custody Tuesday along with AP photographer Seth Wenig and Daily News reporter Matthew Lysiak while covering protests hours after police cleared a park of the main Occupy encampment.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on Tuesday defended his decision to clear the park in Lower Manhattan that was the birthplace of the Occupy Wall Street Movement, saying "health and safety conditions became intolerable" in the park where the protesters had camped out for nearly two months.
