Debra Sweet, an organizer of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, has been arrested by New York police, just minutes before her interview with Press TV news channel.
On Friday, about 30 anti-corporate protesters, including Debra Sweet, were arrested after they demonstrated in front of a local police precinct house.
The campaign's organizer Sweet was detained only minutes before her scheduled interview with Press TV.
“The US government does not represent people's interests. All of these decisions that are happening, the huge amount of US wealth that's poured into these occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq was never chosen by anyone in this country, but the people who run it,” Sweet had said in an earlier interview with Press TV.
Also, more than 20 anti-corporate protesters were arrested in Cincinnati, Ohio, where they had been camping out at a park for nearly two weeks.
The Occupy Wall Street movement, which began in New York in September, has galvanized Americans who are against corporate greed and the influence of corporate money in politics into action.
