Overview
- Dozens of demonstrators forced a door and entered the conference’s secured zone, leading to scuffles as UN security and Brazilian forces blocked entrances with furniture.
- A UN spokesperson reported two lightly injured security personnel and minor damage to the venue, with journalists seeing one guard taken away in a wheelchair.
- The site was evacuated and sealed for a period before access points were secured, and officials said safeguards were implemented to protect the venue.
- Organizers of an earlier city march said the break‑in was not part of their event, as protests and indigenous visibility around the summit continued.
- Indigenous delegations, including an ‘Amazon Flotilla’ that traveled roughly 3,000 kilometers by river, pressed demands to halt oil expansion and deliver direct, effective finance to forest guardians.
