Protesters Burn Barricades in São Paulo

  • 10 years ago
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of São Paulo on June 19 as a World Cup match between England and Uruguay was under way in the city. The large group blocked a highway, calling for a tariff-free public transit system, before protests turned violent as some began to vandalize cars and banks. The protest was timed to coincide with the match and started at Avenida Paulista. Credit: YouTube/Flavio Freire
