Occupy activists braced for more police violence

OCCUPY Democracy protesters braced themselves for another evening of police violence yesterday after managing to hold out for three nights.

Activists plan to stay on Parliament Square until next Sunday, with workshops and speeches set to go ahead throughout the week. 

Organisers hope the event will highlight questions of democracy in Britain following the Scottish referendum debate.
