New York Transit Authority Bans "Die-Ins" at Grand Central 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
Transit authorities in New York City have banned "die-ins" at Grand
Central Station after a month of daily protests. In a die-in, activists
lie down on the ground as if they are dead. The protests have occurred
every night at Grand Central since a grand jury chose not to indict a
New York police officer for the killing of Eric Garner in a banned
chokehold. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it will begin
enforcing rules that bar people from lying on the ground inside Grand
Central. The die-in protests continued on Tuesday with a vigil inside
the terminal.
