Brazil: activists protest on Copacabana beach against handling of coronavirus pandemic

Description

Demonstrators from the Rio de Paz human rights activist group lower Brazilian flags and mock body bags into symbolic graves on Copacabana beach, during a protest against the Brazilian government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The country reached a bleak new milestone this week as its death toll passed 400,000 and the Senate launched an investigation into whether President Jair Bolsonaro's far-right government has exacerbated the crisis.
