Police arrested more than 125 people yesterday as protesters opposed
to the Bush administration's policies marched near the World Trade
Centre site and blocked streets in the city's financial district on
the second day of the Republican convention.
More than 100 people were put in plastic handcuffs and led to police
vans after the War Resisters League began a march from the trade
centre site to a planned "die-in" near Madison Square Garden. They
were met by overwhelming force from police officers. Seventeen were
detained for illegally blocking traffic in the Wall Street financial
district and six were taken into custody at a Harlem subway station,
police said. Many more arrests were expected throughout the night.
