Rio police evict Amazon natives from World Cup site
Violence broke out during a stand-off between police and Brazil's Amazon tribes in Rio Friday. It happened as police tried to evict Amazon natives living in a former Indian museum. The museum is next to the iconic Maracana stadium, the main venue when Rio hosts the 2014 World Cup. It's scheduled for demolition to make space for construction projects ahead of the games. But Indigenous people have lived on the abandoned complex for years and have resisted its demolition.
