Pyongyang, November 18 (KCNA) -- Amid the Occupy Wall Street demo growing stronger in different parts of the United States, the police have kicked up a sweeping campaign of repression while dispersing the protesters.
On Nov. 16 the police authorities in New York hurled policemen in dispersing protesters.
As a helicopter circled above the park where protesters set up tents to stage sit-in strike, creating terror-ridden atmosphere, the police thronged to the park and cleared all the tents by force.
The police arrested more than 200 of those strikers protesting the evacuation.
Similar breakup campaign was also conducted in Oakland, Portland and other cities.
Enraged at such repression, the protesters reportedly declared that they would soon stage a large-scale demo.
Foreign media reported that tension is prevailing in Wall Street again.
The U.S. would frequently advocate "defense" of human rights including freedom of assembly and demonstration. However, it is now arresting and detaining at random the popular masses who rose up in the struggle against exploitation and repression by capital.
This frantic racket of crackdown is a vivid expression of hypocrisy of the U.S.-style "freedom" and "human rights", and it clearly shows the world that the U.S. is a grave yard of human rights. -0-
