I've tried to come up with a good explanatory article, but a google search turns up a handful of obscure articles that lack much substance about this protest or can be taken as "one-sided".
It also seems there's media blackout on this. I just barely found out about it myself and I fucking live in this regressive country!
Here's some coverage by Pooka:
Some of the few details I have managed to gleam is that attendance numbers are everywhere. Some up to 50k, others say a couple hundred....I have no idea what source to trust on this. Either way, it doesn't excuse the lack of coverage as most tea party rallies have been rather small in attendance, but you'll often see that major media outlets all over that like white on rice. Also, police had to use some outdated law about more than 2 people wearing masks at a party to arrest/remove protesters from some area. It also appears that this protest has been going on for days and is expected to keep going.
