Is rebellion leading to fruition?

Basics remain still a far cry
A HIGH court had ordered the eviction of protesters of the Occupy London movement who have been camping since the last three months outside St Paul Cathedral in protest against capitalism. After long deliberation, the court had issued the order and described the camping as ‘public nuisance,’ which obstructed the highway and restricted the rights of people wanting to worship in the church.


The movement started in Wall Street last September and soon spread to London, Sydney and many other cities around the world.





Protesters everywhere raised their voice and demanded solutions to problems of unemployment and economic difficulties. They demanded that governments and parliaments be more responsible in bringing better solutions and minimize the gap between the rich and the poor. People have toppled regimes using their e-rights, and the common factor among all the toppled regimes in the Middle East is the need to provide urgent remedies to concerns of people. The remedies have to come through the executive and legislative powers and these countries should minimize the pressure on the judiciary which has to act as the judge between the other two powers.Moreover, the next question after all this is: what next after preventing protests through security units or court orders? Shouldn’t we listen more to the demands and provide remedies for all the problems for which thousands of people slept and suffered in street tents? Shouldn’t measures be taken to bring back peace and satisfaction to them somehow?
