Germany clears Frankfurt Occupy camp

The forceful eviction came Wednesday as part of security measures ahead of the four-day long ‘Blockupy’ demonstration in the city by activists angry at the way Europe’s financial crisis has made life difficult for millions of ordinary people.

Police also made a dozen arrests as protesters started to throw paint at officers trying to clear a make-shift Occupy camp.

The clearance was completed when the last two protesters came down from trees they had climbed.

Police are already preparing for the rallies, setting up a cordon around the European Central Bank.

Global anti-capitalist movement began last year in New York with protesters calling for economic and social justice.
