Photo news: Protesters In Brazil Demand Military Coup

Dozens of protesters demanding a military coup have forced their way into Brazil’s lower chamber of Congress in the capital, Brasilia. At least 40 demonstrators scuffled with guards and took over the podium as a session began on Wednesday.

 

Denouncing government corruption, they called for a return to military rule – which Brazil saw from 1964 to 1985. In Rio de Janeiro, police fired tear gas at public sector workers protesting against cuts.

 

The protesters swept past security guards and smashed a glass door to get into the parliament chamber, where they shouted “general here, general here” and sang the national anthem.

 

It took police three hours to round up all the protesters, according to Reuters news agency. They were all detained.
