People's Summit


Police Repression

The March of peoples, which brought together more than 80 thousand people in AV. Rio Branco, Rio de Janeiro, 6/20/2012 day ended with the police being used against peaceful demonstrators. In the scenes can be seen the truculence of the Municipal Guard and the military police of Rio de Janeiro against an elderly man and a protester who is on the ground. This demonstrator is from South Africa and even not offering the slightest danger to the integrity of the law enforcement agents of the State she had her body completely covered with pepper spray.
