Demonstrators block the Brasil Avenue –the main access to Rio de Janeiro– in front of the Favelas de Mare complex, during a protest against violence by the militarized police (PM), on July 2, 2013. Last week clashes in the ‘favelas’ between PM and drug-traffickers left 10 people dead, including a member of the Special Police Operations Battalion (BOPE). AFP PHOTO / VANDERLEI ALMEIDA
