In Brazil, thousands protested Friday in Rio de Janeiro as the 2016 Summer Olympic Games opened. Police fired tear gas at crowds protesting police brutality and the displacement of working-class neighborhoods ahead of the Games. This is protestor Orlando Santos.
Orlando Santos: “This is a demonstration to denounce the innumerous human rights violations and to denounce the project associated with the Olympics whereby people are excluded. The winners were those with large economic interests, sponsors, the press, and the losers are Rio’s population.”
