Seven more people have been arrested in the ongoing “Occupy Wall Street” protests in downtown New York City. Protest organizer Justin Wedes was among those detained.

Justin Wedes: “This morning I was detained because I was speaking on a megaphone during an emergency general assembly when the NYPD began to raid our peaceful encampment here at Occupy Wall Street. I was released later with no criminal charges, and several other of my comrades have been detained, some released, again with no criminal charges, and some still being held, detained with no charges. We want to reiterate that this is a peaceful encampment, and we will continue and always remain peaceful. But we tell the NYPD that the world is watching and that you need to remain peaceful. You need to remain professional and courteous, like you have been so much of this time, and protect us, as you’re meant to do, not be violent with us.”

The internet giant Yahoo has come under criticism, meanwhile, after reports surfaced it had blocked messages related to the ongoing protests on Wall Street. On Monday, the company apologized, saying the blockage was unintentional and has been resolved.
