Vehicles Set on Fire as General Strike Turns Violent in Rio

Vehicles were set on fire during protests against Brazil’s president Michel Temer in Rio de Janerio on Friday, April 28, leading to violent clashes with police.

The clashes followed a general strike during the day, called by trade unions to voice opposition to reforms proposed by Temer.

According to globo.com bridges and roads were blocked in southern Brazil as demonstrations took place from the early morning. Credit: Instragam/Marco Sem S via Storyful
