KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — The US has expressed concern over the Najib administration’s crackdown of Saturday’s Bersih rally and has said it will “continue to monitor the situation closely”. Speaking in Washington, DC yesterday, US state department spokesman Mark Toner said that while he was unaware of the latest situation on the ground, there were concerns over “some of the events” last weekend. “We do have some concerns. Obviously, we stand for... the right for people to freely express their democratic aspirations and express their views freely,” he told reporters at a press briefing.
NEW YORK -New York City police say about 700 protesters have been arrested after they swarmed the Brooklyn Bridge and shut down a lane of traffic for several hours.
Police say some demonstrators spilled onto the roadway Saturday night after being told to stay on the pedestrian pathway. They face disorderly conduct and other charges. The lane has since reopened.
Occupy Wall Street demonstrators are railing against corporate greed, global warming and social inequality, among other grievances.
