[lbo-talk] Anarchists reportedly initiated Brazilian mass protests ( with help from police brutality)

[c b]

"On 6 June, the radical left Free Fare Movement (Movimento Passe
Livre, MPL), an autonomist non-party organization that has been active
in the country for several years led a small demonstration demanding
the reversal of a recent increase in public transport fares in the
city of Sao Paulo, from R$3 to R$3.20. The movement was criticized by
the press for blocking the traffic and making unrealistic demands, and
the demonstration was attacked by the police. The MPL returned in
larger numbers in the following days, and the police responded with
increasing brutality, beating up demonstrators and passers-by
indiscriminately, and wounding several journalists. - See more at:
