On the evening of Tuesday, November 11, a group of indigenous protesters and environmentalists stormed the site of the United Nations climate summit (COP30) in the city of Belem in northern Brazil, breaking through security lines and clashing with security forces.
Videos posted on social media show tense scenes in which protesters, some in traditional indigenous clothing and armed with batons or drumsticks, clash with UN guards and Brazilian police.
“Tonight, a group of protesters breached the main security barriers, causing minor injuries to two guards and minor damage to the compound,” a UN spokesperson said in a statement.
The rare incident occurred on the sidelines of the COP30 meeting, which is being held in Belém, the gateway to the Amazon, from November 10 to 21 and has brought together thousands of delegates from 200 countries.
The protesters, some of whom were from the Tupinambá communities and other Amazon tribes, demanded immediate action to protect the forests, indigenous land rights and stop destructive industrial projects.
