1,000 Brazilians protest against Iranian president

At least 1,000 people held a protest in Rio de Janeiro against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is visiting Brazil. Dressed in white, the protestors said that "Brazil means diversity, peace, tolerance and coexistence between human beings; Ahmadinejad symbolizes the opposite."

 

One of the signs held by the protestors read, "A person who denies the Holocaust denies the slavery in Brazil." The demonstrators demanded that the Brazilian president teach his Iranian guest that "racism is a crime." (AFP)
