THE occupation of Sydney is over. It took police less than two hours to dismantle the shanty town as six people were arrested.

Three men and three women were arrested at Martin Place at about 6.30pm yesterday. The group is expected to be charged with breaches to the regulations of a local government act.

One occupier, Glenn Wililam Wall, told The Daily Telegraph he rushed to Martin Place after hearing officers had moved in.



"We will not be closed down – as one is arrested more will appear,’’ he said this morning.



"Police from NSW are trampling our human rights – our right to protest,’’ he said.

Two police officers remain standing guard as CBD workers make their way to work.

Police moved in on protesters who set up home in Martin Place more than three months ago.

Dozens of people have been charged since the protest, which is part of a global campaign against corporate greed that started in October.
