Court order allows Occupy Wall Street back

Hundreds of police officers in riot gear raided the New York City park where the Occupy Wall Street protests began, evicting and arresting dozens of protesters, before dawn, from what has become the epicentre of the worldwide movement protesting at corporate greed and economic inequality.

Hours later, the National Lawyers Guild obtained a court order allowing the protesters to return with their tents to the park, where they have camped for two months. The guild said the injunction prevents the city from enforcing park rules on the protesters.
