Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 13th Mar, 2014. A police walks past a colorful wall at the Villa Kennedy in Bangu, in the West Zone of Rio. Favelas around Rio were still occupied by police in a special operation, headed by police BOPE and Shock Battalion. The occupation will take place in a time of great tension in the region, as clashes between police and drug traffickers have been frequent. About a hundred thousand people live in the region.
