Occupy Reykjavík (OR) was a collaboration that included peaceful protests and demonstrations against economic inequality, social injustice and corporate greed in Reykjavík, Iceland.
Protests
The general protest on 1 October 2011 was linked to the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, United States.[1] However, this protest coincided with opening of the autumn session of the parliament and concerned the slow pace of recovery from the Icelandic financial crisis.[2]
An actual occupation of a public square began on 15 October 2011, linked to the worldwide Occupy movement.[3] On 30 October 2011, the police removed the main tent of the protesters in the Austurvöllur square in front of the Icelandic parliament, Althingi.[4]
