In Brazil, hundreds of people rallied Thursday to protest the privatization of Maracanã Stadium, which will host events for the upcoming World Cup and 2016 Olympics. Two private entities are competing to operate the stadium, which critics say should remain in public hands. Last month a group of indigenous people were forcibly evicted from a former indigenous museum adjacent to the complex after living there for years. The museum will be demolished as part of renovations worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
