Some 2,500 people gathered to demand that the austerity measures be halted, including a 25-percent cut in public sector salaries imposed in July and a value added tax (VAT) hike. President Traian Basescu said on September 22 that Romania would stick to an unpopular austerity plan despite protests and could delay eurozone entry to avoid a Greek-style crisis. Romania, which joined the EU in 2007, last year secured a 20 billion euro lifeline from the IMF, the EU and the World Bank.

Now, aside from their right to protest, I’m neither for or against the protesters as there are so many different issues being represented. Some I definitely support, and some I don’t. I’m not a photojournalist per se, but whenever I can, I like to get out there and see events for myself. So much is mis-represented by the media today. I need to see for my self and let the photos speak for themselves.
The folks out there come from all walks of life, with a myriad of issues. They were friendly, willing to talk; and were excited to be a part of something, and have a platform to be heard. Some were more serious then others. My photos show no violence, because I didn’t see violence. Not to say all the protesters are peaceful, I cannot say that either. I only covered one block. The group I photographed were camped in a small park a few blocks from Wall St itself.
The images in this blog are a sample of those protesters.

At the previous week's protest, the razor wire quickly got bundled up and stolen before the soldiers could do anything making them look foolish. This week, they were very protective of attempts to move the wire barrier.

Annual protest in Hebron for the reopening of Shuhada Street (aparthied street). Shuhada Street lies at the centre of the ancient city of Hebron. For many years it was a busy shopping precinct, full of life. Today it is deserted. When the radical Israeli settler Baruch Goldstein shot dead 29 Palestinian worshippers at Hebron's Ibrahimi mosque in 1994, the Israeli army feared reprisals against three nearby Israeli settlements. It closed off the street to Palestinian vehicles and later Shuhada Street was blocked even for most Palestinian pedestrians.Most of the people who once lived here have left their homes. All the shops have closed, and Palestinians living in the area have to climb over roofs to reach their neighbours. In addition, they suffer violence and harrassment by settlers and soldiers, who often neglect to intervene to protect them from settler violence.
