The Occupy Wall Street ranks continue to grow, inspiring more than 1,000 solidarity protests around the country and the globe.

There were also numerous solidarity protests for the anti-government protesters around the world.

Throughout March, solidarity protests were organised in other towns and cities including Bern, the Swiss capital, on 19 March 2008.

Many countries experienced their own solidarity protests in support of the Egyptians.

There were "solidarity" protests outside the Egyptian interests section.

The solidarity protests turned into an anti-government demonstration during which the police fired tear gas and paintballs at protesters.

The protesters were said to be encouraged by the solidarity protests in the urban areas and the general strike; they then said that the protest march would continue.

On 11 September, as another deadline to return to work passed, workers continued to stick their ground amid mounting solidarity protests.

In Jenin, meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians partook in a solidarity protest.

There were also several solidarity protests in other countries that were mostly composed of Libyan expatriates.
