Police haul off Parliament Square protesters
Metropolitan Police tries to close off green to Occupy activists
Green Party politician Jenny Jones was among 15 democracy activists arrested yesterday as cops stormed into Parliament Square to clear out their camp.
Ms Jones was restrained as she attempted to hold on to a man who was being taken by the police for holding on to a piece of tarpaulin.
Ms Jones, the deputy chair of the London Assembly police and crime committee, complained that police officers were hurting her and twisting her wrists.
