A resident from the First of May Refugee Camp dismantles his tent during the eviction process in the land in Itaguai, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In a surprise raid last week, police forcefully evicted several hundred Brazilian families who had occupied a long-vacant site owned by the state-run oil giant Petrobras in Itaguaí, on the western edges of Rio de Janeiro. The court-ordered move shocked the community, which had been told in May, after several thousand people took control of the land on May 1, that they would be safe from eviction until at least the end of the year.
