FBI surveillance on Occupy protestors revealed

The redacted documents were obtained through a freedom of information request by non-profit public interest legal firm Partnership for Civil Justice fund. They show the FBI passed on information of Occupy protests to banks and finance companies to warn them of what they call an “Anarchist protest”, sometimes also labelling the group as “domestic terrorists”. Occupy Atlanta protestor Tim Franzen was targeted, with fellow activists being interviewed by FBI agents at their homes about Mr Franzen’s activities and beliefs.
