Dozens of indigenous activists have secured the tent city UN Climate Change Conference invaded Brazil. Videos from South American media showed how they violently broke down doors and fought with security forces on Tuesday evening (local time).
Thousands of indigenous activists were also represented at the World Climate Conference in the city of Belem. They campaign against the destruction of their ancestral homelands, for example through deforestation of the rainforest.
BBC journalists said they saw UN security personnel running behind a line of Brazilian soldiers and shouting at delegates to leave. An activist’s Instagram video showed a large crowd of Indigenous people waving flags and protesting in the conference center’s hallways.
