More than 1000 people held a protest on Saturday morning (4) in Complexo do Alemão, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), asking for peace in the community, which has more than 15,000 inhabitants. The demonstration took place in response to police violence and the murder of four residents in less than 48 hours this week, including Eduardo de Jesus Ferreira, only 10 years.
With signs that read "- Bala + Love", "We deserve to live without fear of death" and "Poverty is not a police matter", residents and humanrights activists set out to march through the streets dressed in white
