Overview
- Demonstrators forced their way through the main entrance, where UN security pushed them back, barricaded doors with tables and confiscated long sticks and batons.
- UN Climate Change said two security staff suffered minor injuries and the site sustained minor damage, adding that official negotiations are continuing.
- Witnesses reported one guard evacuated in a wheelchair and another with a cut above his eye after being struck by a heavy drumstick thrown from the crowd.
- Protesters dispersed shortly after the clash, delegates who had been asked to remain inside were later allowed to leave, and authorities have opened investigations.
- Many protesters were Indigenous activists demanding land rights and opposing agribusiness, oil exploration and illegal extraction, highlighting tensions over participation at a rainforest-hosted COP where the UN, not local police, manages on‑site security.
