[pp.int.general] A small sample of what is happening is Brazil

[SecretariaGeral Piratas]

... in case you were wondering:

People kneeling on the floor with their hands in the air were being shot at
almost point-blank with rubber bullets, on their faces. Expired tear gas
shells were shot.

Press was attacked as well, arrested. One reporter was shot in the eye and
is blind, another one almost got blind.

Police seizing vinegar from protesters and press so they cannot protect
themselves from the effects of tear gas and pepper spray. And so on.

 And it´s spreading around the country. Police abuse in São Paulo last
week, police abuse yesterday in Brasilia, police abuse today in Rio de
Janeiro. And many, many other cities.

FIFA Confederations Cup began in Brazil. Government created no-protest
no-expression exception zones around the country, so things will get
rougher.
